DM has a bunch of content they are sharing with us, but they are missing a book with a subclass I'd like to play. If I buy the subclass for myself, can my character still be in their campaign, even though they do not own the content/I am not paying to share it with them?
You can always use content you've purchased yourself. Content sharing within a campaign also works such that the content everyone in the campaign has purchased (that is, the DM, you, the other players) is all shared within that campaign, not just the stuff the DM (or whoever has turned on content sharing) paid for. You might want to double check with your DM and make sure they're fine with you using that subclass. If they don't own it it might be something they're unfamiliar with or isn't fit for the setting of the campaign they're planning to run.
Hey. Thanks for the input. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way - we purchased it and it wasn't shared. It's only the person that has enabled content sharing that can do that.
EDIT: maybe it would work actually. we needed to enable Critical Role content. but at that point the DM also bought it. so uh.,.you might be right haha
Title pretty much explains it.

My problem is I purchased the explorers wildemount source book but it's not letting me use the echo knight feature kinda frustrating
Do you have Critical Role content on/red/right in the character preferences?
