Have displayed Player Avatar linked to the active Game

We often end up with our players having to switch out their player image for multiple games as we switch between different sessions. Aside from taking up space from our upload library that we need to clean up later, it's just annoying to have to do repeatedly. We can already specify our display name within the session that replaces our main account name below our player avatar, it would be nice if we could also have a player setting option to upload a custom player avatar that overrides our main account avatar.

You can set this up, like this: Create 1 character (under Journals) for each Player. Assign that Character > Edit > Permissions > Visibility & Editing > One Player's Name. The player will upload the Avatar pic that they want, as the Portrait slot on the Bio Tab of their Character. Now when they use the drop-down menu ("Speaking as..."), that will also change their Avatar (for that game) to the Portrait of that Character.
Well this sounds awesome! I'm going to give this a try immediately and see if I can make it work for me. Thanks!
Oh, that is just lovely. :-) Thanks so much for that--I don't know how we all missed that for so long, but it works like a charm.

I am stoked for you, Rob W! Enjoy! Roll20 used to not have this feature long-ago, it was asked for, and it was added! Some years back.
