Giving Control of Tokens to my players

I am trying to assign control to my players but two of them do not show up in the list of names that gives control to players dispite being in the joined campaign list anybody know why?

They have to enter the game itself otherwise it doesn't realize they joined. Once they go in to the actual campaign board it registers them and allows you to assign them tokens anstuff.

Pat is correct. The most likely reason that those players are not showing up in the list is that they have not actually launched/joined the campaign.

Is there a place in the Wiki that I can direct my player too so he can see what he needs to do. for some reason I cant explain it good enough.

Excior, all your players need to do is go into the campaign. Have them click on the "Virtual Tabletop" link in the black bar at the very top of the Roll20 site. This should take them to a page that lists the campaigns they are a part of. They just need to click on the "Join Game" link for that campaign. That will take them into the campaign. If the campaign is not listed there, you will likely need to send them an invitation (you can find the "invite players" link in the campaign details page) or the join link (you can find it in the dark green space in the chat tab when you are in the campaign right under the text that says "The player link for this campaign is:") to that campaign. You may also want to direct them to this tutorial video if this is the first time they've ever used Roll20. It explains some of the basics for players: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Getting_Started_Players" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Getting_Started_Players</a>

thanks for all your help.

What Sarah explained. :) One technique to make it happen is, host a "Session Zero" (practice session / group meeting, before your actual start-date for game play). Basically just asking each Player to meet you (the GM) in the game itself on Roll20, before the 1st session date. That way everyone clicks "Join Game" and enters the game, which enables the DM to assign tokens, journals and character sheets to 'em.

And if you don't want to call it "Session Zero",call it "Meet and Greet" where everyone can meet each other and hash out what everyone wants to play. It solves a lot of problems before they happen.

Roger that thanks for the information.
