When I look at my character list, whether on a PC or my phone, I see "Campaign: xxxx" and a "Leave Campaign" button. If you are not seeing them, I would guess you do not have any characters actually in a campaign...that space is blank on characters not in a campaign. Side Note: The campaign name shown is whatever the creator named it, not necessarily the name of a printed/official product.
[Trying to insert/attach a pic for you, which is about as user-friendly as adding an existing character to a campaign, as a random example of difficulty]
I am in several campaigns and can see them on my character page on the website online, but not in the App. On the App I click on "view character on Website" then I can see the campaign name.
Via join link you can only create unasigned character not import a character from your characters collection
That is incorrect. Via the join link you have three options, you can either create a character that is assigned to you (not unassigned), claim a character that is currently unassigned (if any exist), or import a preexisting character that is not already in another campaign.
I think you are confusing the campaign page for the “join link,” which can be found on the campaign page, but is an entirely separate URL. On the campaign page you can only create an unassigned character or claim an unassigned character. If you have a preexisting PC that is not already in a campaign you can absolutely join a campaign with that character. (Image for proof in spoiler below.)
(Please not the arrows pointing from the sentence indicating I can join with an available character to the two available characters visible in the image.)
Following the link works, but it's not very intuitive. It'd be cool if there was a button on the character sheet (or edit character) to add to a campaign. And a button in the campaign to 'add existing character '
Bump - it is so stupid that there is not a button to just click and add a pre-made character to my own campaign. Yes, I can do it with the link, but really? How hard can it be to just add the stupid button that has been asked for in the past 5 years?
As others have said, the current way to add your own characters to your campaign is counterintuitive. Please give us an option to directly add a character from My Characters, and while viewing each character.
6 years later and it has not improved! Just add a button: add from "my characters"

It would be nice if we could just click ‘add to campaign’ or something on our characters tab. As a DM, that would have been neat.
Bump +1
Or at least have this solution show up when you search this site. Stupid that I had to back out to Google to find this forum!
Please give an option to add preseted characters to campaign

You can already do that via the “join link.”
Via join link you can only create unasigned character not import a character from your characters collection - as a gamemaster I mean
Zachar
Not true. When you follow the join campaign link it brings up a list of your characters that aren't currently in a campaign.

Oh now it works :D

Sounds like a case for paper and pencils to me.

and, 4+ yrs later, it's still not a thing... 🤷♂️
December 2023 and still the easiest way to do this is copy/paste the join link to yourself over and over. Please fix!
