Currently trying to set up guest mode so my family members can try out the VP too but when it asks me to allow only open apps or give full permission to all apps, how do I know which apps are open? Why isn't there a task manager window that shows you which apps are open and how to close unwanted apps? I can't figure out how to find the option to close apps running in the background... But when I select the option to allow only open apps, it says there are none even though I definitely just opened and used a few apps.

Also, I tried plugging in the battery via thunderbolt 4 cable to my MacBook Pro and nothing happens except charging so I'm assuming there's no data passthrough option. Has anyone figured out a way to transfer large files besides using Airdrop/iCloud?

So far I think the VP is a very well designed product with an intuitive and great input design but my god the lack of instructions on how to do anything beyond opening apps is the worst part. I had to find out how to do so many things by going through forums and reddit threads...
 
I believe that open apps are those apps that you have pinned around the room with you. So if you can view them in your room, then you can share them with your guests.

There is a way to bring up a list of running apps so that you can force quit them. To do this you press and hold both the digital crown and the button on the left-hand side for several seconds then the force quit menu will appear. Then you can select the app that you want to force quit.

I think the only way to get files into the system is to transfer them via airdrop or via Wi-Fi. There is no physical connection possible

If you go into the Tips application and select from the menu on the left, the bottom option is for the AVP manual. This gives you full details of how to do just about anything you would want to with the system.
