This is about a Roll20 feature exclusive to Pro-subscribers (and often to players in a Game created by a Pro-subscriber). If you'd like to use this feature, consider upgrading your account.

This is related to Roll20 Mods, which require Pro info from the game's creator. (formerly known as API "Scripts") Main Page: Mod:Use Guide
