ETA: My questions have been answered by kindly folks!
See title! I've seen others asking for a tutorial, and there doesn't seem to be one. I'm only just jumping onto the D&D Beyond bandwagon, so while character creation is easy enough, I'm having a difficult time finding the tools to create an actual campaign.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give, and apologies if this information is available elsewhere! I did some searching around, but I certainly wasn't as thorough as I could have been—I definitely am a bit frustrated that I can't seem to find the information that I'm looking for.
While logged in, click on your name in the top right and select "My Campaigns". From the My Campaigns screen select the blue "Create a Campaign" button on the top right.

"...or you can find the secret tunnel that leads to the Vault of Dickish DM which is filled with 10,000,000 copper coins and a 5,000 pound solid gold statue of a middle finger that is too big to fit through the door."
I think what the OP may be looking for is a "so then what". I mean really my "campaigns" on DDB are basically a folder for the my game's characters with content sharing enabled. I could see someone coming to DDB expecting "campaign" to be something more robust like the character maker.
OP, you may want to check out the encounter builder, I don't know if it can be integrated with the campaign feature per se, but some DMs really like using it to build their games.

You're both total rockstars! I could not figure out how to even create a campaign for the life of me. Thank you so much for being helpful and not mean. You are gems! 💙
Thank you also for the very helpful tip about the encounter builder—that is also very useful to me.
I don't get it either, I've created a campaign but can't seem to get my characters added in it. I see the link i can send the characters, but how do i join that like with my characters ?
Click on the link and it should go to your Characters tab and ask you which one you want to use to join the campaign with.

I would appreciate knowing how to build a campaign on this site as well. I'm using mobile mode on my phone. Thank you!
Do you mean going through Dndbeyond.com on your phone web browser?
On the web browser
1) Navigate to Dndbeyond.com
2) Upper right corner selected the triple lines menu option.
3) Select/expand Collections
4) Select My Campaigns
5) Select Create A Campaign
As people have already pointed out the Create a Campaign functionality is lacking. It's just the Name and Description you provide. You can give a link to your players to have their DDB characters join your campaign or share some of your purchased content.
There is not much else to it but that should at least get you started.
Some of the more popular VTTs have the capability baked in (click on the module and everything is set up). Unfortunately, since that's another platform you would also need to buy the item on that site. :-/

Still, the OP doesn't have his original question of "How do I start going through?" answered.
all it is is a description how is that a campaign????
Anybody with a screenshot maybe for the 5e newb?

I think what people are looking for (me included)...
New campaign, select purchased campaign book. Click on ready encounter with populated maps and NPC's loot, stat blocks etc...
I bought the physical campaign book, I thought buying the digital one would give me that.
Otherwise why would I buy the digital one? Now I'll have to print out all the maps, stat blocks etc...

Ok so if you want a new campaign there are multiple apps out there for a virtual tabletop that are free and actually have some quality
P.S just search up virtual tabletop for D&D

can i join
can i play in your canpain
is it possible to add an adventure like for example dragon of icepire peak to your campaign?
All shall DIE unless they like mimics
If they like mimics well... they turn into one
if they are neutral then we just put them in the dungeon until they make up their mind:)
If your a mimic you must obey the god of mimics(me)
Unfortunately not.
Is there a reason why mine may not be showing that option?
