Can I give everybody GM priviledges

Can I allow all players to upload images, manipulate tokens, and write on the map? I have a good group that I trust so I don't feel the need to hold control over all that. Giving players the ability to do these things would make stuff easier since they could present their own images and ideas.
You can have as many GMs as you want in your game (just promote them on the Campaign Details page by hovering over their picture after they've joined the game).  However, keep in mind that for example the "GM Opacity" setting for the Fog of War and probably a few other things will be pretty much useless to your group. Which is fine if it's more of a collaboration style game that's less focused on virtual maps like D&D is. If you don't want to make them full GMs, they can still draw/write on the map and you can set all your tokens to "Controled By: All" and they'll be abe to manipulate those as well. So there's sort of a "macro" way of doing it (make everyone GM) or a more controlled/micro way (giving them permissions on individual tokens, characters, etc.)
I did see how to give them token control, but I don't think they could use the text editor to type, nor could they add images. They had to send the images to me, and I had to upload them.

Upload Images: GMs only. Manipulate tokens: Players can move them around and change some basic things, for everything else it requires a GM.  Write on the map: both Players and GMs can do this via the art tools (including the text art tool). Note: Players can only manipulate their own artwork while GMs can alter any artwork.  - Gauss
