Show bar1 by default for monster tokens

Hey, I'm new to roll20. I purchased the Essentials Kit for D&D and it's going well. One issue I'm having is I'd like for the players to be able to see the HP bar (bar1). Right now this means I have to edit each map, click on the tokens 1 by 1, and edit them to show bar1. Is there any easy way to change the whole game so all tokens show bar1? Thanks! 
You can set this outside the game in your Game Default Settings ( <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Game_Settings_Page#Game_Default_Settings" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Game_Settings_Page#Game_Default_Settings</a> ). Note that this only applies to future tokens . Once this is set, launch your game, open Settings (the cog icon in the right-hand Sidebar pane), and scroll down to the bottom. There should be an Apply Default Settings button. Click that and choose the default settings you wish to apply to the tokens already in your game . Click the Apply Settings button (it may take a few minutes depending on how big your game is) and you should be all set.
Thanks Rabulias. I tried that and it wasn't working. But I see my mistake now. After you click the Apply Settings button on the Apply Default Settings page, a small status bar will appear under the red warning text. I needed to leave that page open until the status bar is complete. The status bar is hard to see and I wasn't noticing it at first.
I'm having the same problem, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong: <a href="https://i.imgur.com/jfo4Rdw.png" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/jfo4Rdw.png</a> <a href="https://i.imgur.com/YztLeKG.png" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/YztLeKG.png</a> Why are my game settings not getting applied to the tokens I create?
I followed Rabulias's instructions and it applied to any tokens I currently have out on a map. However, I have the same issue as you, if I drag out any new tokens they don't have the settings applied. I'm using a pre-made module I purchased off Roll20, so most of the tokens I want to use are already on the map so I'm not too worried about it. However, it would be nice if I could also fix this issue as well.
