Run a Live Session in the Virtual Tabletop

Click Quick Launch on your campaign board to enter the Virtual Tabletop (badge 1). The map fills the stage immediately. Players appear in the right panel as they join.

This is your at-the-table view for the entire session. Everything you do from here is visible to your players in real time.

Find the floating toolbar on the left side of the stage (badge 2). It groups every in-session control into a single column: select, pan, ping, sketch, ruler, fog, lighting, visibility, and dice.

Drag the toolbar's handle to reposition it anywhere on the stage. Fog and lighting tools are visible only to you as GM.

Each button in the toolbar (badge 3) maps to one capability you will reach for during play:

• Pencil sketches directly on the map. Use it to mark spell areas or rough out quick diagrams.
• Ruler measures distances against the grid.
• Ping flashes a marker at a point so every player's screen highlights it.
• Fog and Lighting (GM only) shape what players can see as they explore.

Open the player panel on the right side of the stage (badge 4). Each row shows a connected player with their voice and video status, the character they brought to the campaign, and a connection indicator.

Click the mic icon on a player's row to mute a noisy connection. To hand a player the GM role for a scene, open their row's context menu and select Grant GM.

Select the dice button in the toolbar (badge 5) to open the dice tray. You can also roll from a character sheet button or by typing a /roll command in chat.

All three paths feed the same Unity dice tray. Every player sees the result land on their screen at the same time.

See the Roll Dice in Session guide for the full rolling reference, including modifier syntax and roll history.
