If you're not a subscriber yet, don't worry!

You can use Fog of War to manually hide and reveal areas of your map as players explore.

This lets you control the pace of exploration, and still lets you hide fun surprises in your dungeons.

Bonus Pro Tip: You can use transparent walls to control movement without blocking vision.

Set a wall to transparent, then enable "Restrict Player Movement."

This is useful for traps, force fields, magical barriers, or areas you don’t want players to rush past!

Pro GM move: Use One-Way walls to take maps to the next level. 😎

They let players see into a space from one direction—but not the other.

This is perfect for:
● Cliffs
● Balconies
● Multi-level buildings
● One-way mirrors

All Roll20 subscribers have access to Dynamic Lighting!

To use it in game, you need 3 things:

1️⃣ Dynamic Lighting enabled on the Page
2️⃣ Walls and torches on the Lighting Layer
3️⃣ Player tokens with Vision turned on

Miss one, and players might see only darkness.

Make your players feel like they're actually exploring a dungeon—not just looking at a map.

Pro GM version 👀 Want the most accurate way to test what your players see?

Create a new, dummy player account.
Log into it on a second browser (or window) and keep it open during prep.

Now you can see exactly what your players see!
January 2, 2026 at 5:24 PM
One step further:
Go to VTT Settings → Re-join as Player.

This shows your game without GM elements, but you may still see things you’ve assigned to yourself (and switching views can take a moment).

This is still very useful for quickly spotting permission issues.
January 2, 2026 at 5:24 PM
If you're using Dynamic Lighting or Fog of War, you can preview a player's line of sight with a simple shortcut!

1️⃣ Click a player's token
2️⃣ Hold CTRL+L

You’ll still see things only the GM can see, so use this mostly to confirm vision angles.
