I thought I would love stage manager for a better drag & drop experience, but found myself quite frustrated by always having to rearrange app windows. They kind of never seem to be falling into the right place/size.
Now I’m mostly back to Split View or Slide Over, and find that a lot less time consuming, and thus more productive.

As always, a clear explanation of a potentially frustrating app. You have a talent for explaining in simple terms without patronising. Thank you for taking the time and effort to do this.

I tried Stage Manager but was very frustrated. Your excellent video has really explained it well. Thanks!😊

Been using stage manager now since it’s release. It’s an excellent feature. Has sped up the way I work and use my iPad (with a keyboard). Tried, for a day, to go back to working without it (stage manager) but it was like having a finger removed and trying to type. It became instantly a natural way to work for me. It needs some tuning, like how it resizes videos…it’s not elegant yet. No doubt it will only get better.

Finally a simple and well explained video for stage manager!

Thanks for the walkthrough! We’re on an iPad Air 5th Gen.. and the external monitor features work! A bit quirky/buggy I.e. trying to figure out when videos will play automatically jump to full screen on the monitor or play within the current YouTube window.

I stumbled upon Stage Manager looking for something else in Settings, and then I stumbled upon your video. Thanks for the great explanation. I can see its usefulness but I like split screen better

I just got a new iPad air 2022 and had no clue but now we have some cool features. Thank you for this video. Can’t wait to look for more tips and tricks.

I think I am going to like this stage manager thing. I may help stop moving between iPad and Mac and just use iPad. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the video, I really like using stage manager feature.

[davidbower]

is it possible to rotate the external display to work in portrait orientation?

Best explanation of a potentially confusing feature. Well done.

This is the best stage manager guide ive seen, thankyou!!! I can now have youtube beaming to my tv while i follow your guides, read the transcript and make notes at the same time!

Your concise explanation of how this feature works, has made me rethink and give it another go.
My first experience did my head in!

Smashed the like and just subscribed to your channel mate!
Cheers!🇦🇺

Great video!
Stage Manager solves a problem for those of us who use Mevo Multicam software for switching multiple Mevo cameras. Prior to this if you ran another app on the iPad the Mevo app would lose connections to all of the cameras requiring them to reconnect. It also interrupts a live stream.
Stage Manager on the iPad now provides the required resources to keep the cameras connected.

Tried stage manager on my iMac and liked most of it but when saving screenshots from photos I could not find them and when I changed screens they disappeared.

I overall like it and using it on my iPad Pro 2018, but it would be better to fix some certain stages, which I always need and use

Thanks for your video. Super helpful especially with the flip the keyboard upside down so I could use my pencil more. Saved me having to buy a new case. 👍
