This question may have been asked elsewhere, but I haven't found it by searching the forums.
If I spring for the DM subscription tier, I can share purchased content with my players in a campaign, even if they have advertising-supported free accounts.
What exactly am I able to share? Would it only be the stuff relevant to the Character Builder? Races, Classes & Subclasses, Spells, etc? Could they look up monster stats from my purchase of the Monster Manual? Can they read the entire text from Xanthar's Guide in their spare time, preface and all?
Let me know, or link me in the right direction, please.

You will share everything from the builder to the Compendium. Currently, it is not possible to select the source to share, but this feature is on the roadmap.
The players will be able to use the shared content in the builder only via campaign link.
The Master's subscription allows you to enable content sharing for up to 3 campaigns.
Within each of those campaigns, all purchased content is shared.
This means if person A has bought the Player's Handbook, Person B has bought DMG & Monster Manual, Person C bought Volo's, all of you in the campaign can view all of those compendiums and use their content in the character builder for characters in that campaign.
So I can be the benevolent benefactor of the half dozen books I've purchased, so long as I keep up with the subscription. Awesome.
The Master Tier put everything from everyone "on the table". Everyone will be able to see and use the sourcebooks purchase by everyone (DM and players). You can potentially not buy a single book and pay only the subscription. You enable the sharing and everyone can see and use what your players have purchased.
It is worth noting that one can switch off the content sharing anytime on a campaign slot without having any effect on the characters. When it comes the moment for the characters to be modified/levelled up, the content sharing can be enabled again.
That is excellent to know (and will certainly be coming into play for me for the moment) but it would be nice to have a more automatic solution.
Would it be acceptable to pick up a second Master Tier subscription, create a character from my first sub for each of the shared content campaigns, and expand campaign reach in that fashion? I do not want to violate TOS, but if it is acceptable, that would honestly be worth the extra cost to me.
So my buddy who has the dungeon masters subscription sent me the invite code I couldn’t figure out how to join the camaghne I also have the campaghne name but I don’t see a join section just a create any help would well help thanks

Use the link in the address bar of your browser. It will take you to a page where you select one of your characters or asked to create a new one.
For sure. I feel like sharing 3 games is basic pay level and Master level should be 5 - 10. This will become especially true when they build the campaign features more

Is there any way to get more than three shared campaigns? Can additional campaigns be added as an upcharge on the Master sub?
I run lots of D&D.
I make stuff on DMs Guild, DriveThruRPG, & Storytellers Vault. I stream things on Twitch.
I would second this request. I run three campaigns already, and come summer I will have a fourth short term game.
