one of the features that need to be address quickly is output audio management, where u can select which audio output u want it to be, either from hdmi output, bluetooth, or from the ipad speaker itself.. right now its only output the audio automatically to hdmi where no bluetooth audio is connected.. no option to go for ipad speaker itself.. p.s. my hdmi audio monitor kind a suck btw.. 😅

[@bondr006]

I love Stage Manager. My M1 iPad Pro 11 has been my real estate business machine since last November. Waited years for this, and now I can use my iPad Pro as a desktop machine. Got my cake and eatin' it too. Whooo Friggiinngg Hooooo!!!!! I use a BT keyboard with an Apple Trackpad 2. Feels very natural and intuitive to use a touch device to control a touch device. Also have an Anker hub with a Samsung T7 SSD for external storage. Life is good and luvin' iPadOS. Thanks for another great video Chris.

[@xX19shegod19Xx]

Thanks for all the iPad content. I adore the iPad. It’s just a fun way to get work done. It makes the mundane, magical. 🤩 I appreciate, and enjoy your perspective on this amazing device. Peace, Love and Light!

[@joshualeesherman]

I appreciate tech reviews that are positive and optimistic. I don’t mind if they mention short comings of the item being reviewed, but it’s still done with hope that it could be improved. Good job!

[@PowerrangerInWhite]

This feature completely changed the way I use my ipad for school. I am now able to just take simple notes when in class or ask Questions that actually help me better understand the topic. With a secondary monitor and a good mech keyboard + mouse I now really enjoy to do a clean daily follow-up in Notion without having to boot up my desktop pc.

[@abdullahmohdnawi2320]

I had previously been tearing my hair out at how unusable Stage Manager was as a whole, but then magic happened. It all started to come together when I started using external display, and I tuned my workflow to accomodate this set up. Now I pretty much use Stage Manager on both my iPad and external display whenever I am in Productivity mode, and switch it off in my iPad when I am doing everything else. I am loving this new setup now!

[@brianenglish8105]

You made the video I asked for!!!! Thanks 😅 Excited to try this out.

[@maxwell-cole]

Great review. Looking forward to seeing more stage manager features in upcoming episodes too.

[@tucoerquilenne6765]

Definitely a step in the right direction for Stage Manager and other Apps that will take advantage of working with an external display with the iPad Pro lineup. By 2023 when the newer and rumored bigger iPad Pro's come out it should be well ironed out and run smoothly. I am excited to see how this develops. If this works out to be as good as I think it will I will get a iMac to go along with my iPad Pro.

[@noelflannery1548]

Great video demonstration on the new extended desktop capability. I appreciate the positive can do spirit!

[@jmbosquesillo7203]

Great to hear some positives on the performance factor..

[@ernestarce]

This is the set up that i was looking for🔥

[@susanpratt3290]

This looks like a great setup. Having a docking station for you I-Pad is great, if I use my Hub and connect my I-Pad Pro to my TV I wonder if I can do this setup too. Thank you for this video.

[@georgefolickman2324]

Stage Manager is great! Now I desperately need support for Continuity Camera or Studio Display camera to fix the iPad Pro camera placement. Surprised I don't see more people asking for this 🤔

[@MarcusFenixGears]

That is my main question before buying it: so the studio display camera cant be used when the ipad is connected?

[@jpetitcompere]

You are 💯 correct. Channels complain iPad doesn’t have pro features. The second it arrives they complain about it not even out of beta yet. This will be improved upon it’s just the beginning. I’m exited to do some music production with this set up and have my levels up on the second display too hopefully . Great video

[@joselucnico]

What is Pro features ?

[@jpetitcompere]

@@joselucnico multi tasking/split screen, external drive usbc support, editing apps for video, photography and audio production etc.

[@Streamlined955]

I use a Kensington StudioDock with a monitor and it’s great. No ugly cables on the desk.

[@BackAtItAKen]

It’s definitely refreshing to hear a take on the positive improvements being made, even if they’re incremental. Thank you! 🤙🏼

[@catacombstv]

Great review Chris 💯

[@micleeso]

A noteworthy feature not mentioned on the external display, when the focus is needed, a full screen of the app is possible. I see the app tiling as a design step within the workflow. This step is intended to select an app to the forefront or fullscreen. However I agree a free-form window sizing in external display mode needs to happen; otherwise, it’s a frustrating feature.

[@vers1fier]

FINALLY, my dream workflow setup has arrived!

[@alexcruz6924]

I have same setup with my MacBook Pro. And use my ipad as a Wacom tablet. Loving stage manager. Took a little to get used too.

[@zenithstar11]

Nice video… it would be more helpful if you do a video on monitor buying guide for ipad like its resolution and ports etc and also which mouse or touchpads are best for use with ipad.

[@julesslegers7063]

Can’t wait to get my iPad Pro around the holidays, I’m so looking forward to stage manager

[@tomslayton5302]

I think it is a good setup, can’t wait to try it out!

[@DP12356]

Great video thank you.

[@BlueDiamondsAuthor]

One year later and that’s my setup! Mainly use scrivener and procreate, and am loving the external monitor. I upgraded my 2018 12.9” ipad pro for an M2 1 tb model last month. Didn’t want to spend on a new keyboard for the M4 :( but going from the 2018 to the M2 is plenty of an upgrade so far hehe. I was surprised to get 400 bucks back in credit for the 2018 pro from the applestore, so like 30% value back after six years of use!

[@ursula8074]

What I was waiting for❤

[@LND8110]

Great video, where did you get the charging mat from? Do you have a link? Desk setup looks clean 👌🏼

[@philippelebel4053]

Thank you Chris, another great video. Totally unrelated, but what is the wireless charger we are seeing on your desk?

[@JohnvanGurp]

Looks great!

[@danteyoutu]

I enjoy that you are always positive on these features and find how to make them work to make you more productive while the rest of KZbin experts only whine about new features because they aren’t exactly what they wanted

[@Alexander_Bahgheera]

Indeed!! It's A SUPER REFRESHING outlook that's really needed right now. I truly hope that he never changes or deviates from his optimistic mindset!! I can't even begin to explain how refreshing it is to get home and learn more about the apple products I have come appreciate so much, when I basically hated the brand for years.(@Louis Rossman I 🤔 think) *Long story short, I wanted to draw on a tablet and found the mini 6 about a month ago and have been SO INTRIGUED ever since I found out that this beast can do almost anything my PC can and games better than any Samsung tabs as well! Thanks again for your time and efforts DailyTekk you are doing a phenomenal job! Have a blessed day/or weekend!!! 💪🤓

[@RobHitch]

I'm genuinely excited about Stage Manager / External Display Support. Fed up with taking my 1.7kg laptop and iPad on business trips. Instead I can travel iPad only and remote in to my laptop at home with the Mac desktop full screen on the external display when I need it! 👍😎

[@hummersd]

How about a MacBook, iPad, and external monitor? Would you prefer connecting the Mac or iPad, or it’s one half dozen or the other since iPad OS is improving? I love having a MacBook next to an iPad and using Universal Control. I’m assuming an external monitor would make that even better between all the devices.

[@NiravJoshi]

Outstanding experience. Stage Manager is just superb on M1 iPad Pro.

[@EthericallyNaomi]

As someone that bought an iPad Air so I could have CPU that handled video editing - Specifically in Davinci Resolve 18 but I didn’t realize they weren’t capable yet - I’m excited about Apple having a DR/DR18 app as well as external display. I’m new to the video editing and workflow space. I’ve noticed as my desk has gotten more crowded and disorganized I’ve spent less time at it working on filming and editing. Thanks for this information 🪴✨

[@laurentroose2429]

Yes it’s finally back!!!

[@ChrisBundy17]

Hope they make Airplay be able to do extended desktop like it does on Mac. That would be magic for all these displays that are building in Airplay 2.

[@elir6231]

Thank you mentioning and providing a solution for the hardware requirement for desktop mode. It is not very clear even in the developer explanations for beta testing.

[@techtechlatino]

Great vid!

[@factorywatch]

Thanks @DailyTekk! Is there a way to turn off the iPad Pro while projecting the screen?

[@ruben619448]

The idea is really cool on an external monitor. Needs some refining but overall a nice experience. I just think stage manager is weird on the iPad screen. I don’t like the experience

[@yippiecalle421]

I can see apple give us a new feature with the M3 iPad. Since it may take on the new iPad form factor we may still just get 1 thunderbolt 4 usbc however the new smart connectors will allow for a new Magic Keyboard3.0 with 2 more thunderbolt ports for both charging and data transfer this will allow for 2 displays.

[@jaarevalor]

Great video, I think you e a good point for Stage Manager. I'll like you to review the new Davinci Resolve for iPad

[@Guironey]

good video!! thxxx

[@sashinger5230]

Excellent video! How do you connect it to the Studio Display? Via TB or USB-C?

[@michaelagarcia8290]

Are there any limitations on the size monitor that can be used (example ultra-wide)?

[@garypranzo9334]

Full version of resolve? Pretty sure it is the cut page and color page. No Fairlight, No editing page, and no fusion page. I could understand no fusion but the editing page should be added. If it works the speed editor just having the cut page will be pretty cool.

[@thekushinator]

I’m quite liking stage manager. Nice video as always.

[@thekushinator]

So I've now been trying the stage manager for the last couple of days and I have to say that it has totally transformed the iPad experience for me. It now feels like a device which I can use as for tasks like email, browsing, messaging with a lot less frustration. The ability to have multiple windows on the screen at the same time is brilliant. I now wish I had the bigger one.

[@xxxlalo666]

I just want to draw fullscreen on the ipad and have youtube on the monitor, and finally someone show the that example, thanks.

[@marianohumani]

Excellent explanation, I only have to doubt if it can be used with an external monitor via AirPlay, since I have a smart monitor that would allow it to connect it without cables if it were the case as I do with the MacBook ¿?

[@fowlercarlos]

Can you enable screen mirroring for those times when you do not want to use external monitor support?

[@allanbrowder6864]

Question - Can you use the studio displays camera with the iPad for video apps? Zoom/Teams/etc? Looking for a way to get a center camera situation instead of the side that apple keeps throwing in with these iPad pros

[@DarkMatter727]

I hooked up my ipad pro m1 11 inch yesterday with my 28 inch display. It is awesome! I have a mac mini as well, but this is really cool. My thing is this though. I have a mx keys keyboard that I can use with my ipad pro and mac, and I have a locitech combo touch case for the ipad. Is there a way to still use universal control with my magic trackpad that I use for my mac mini with the ipad pro connected to my monitor? Or would I have to run 2 external monitors?

[@edbickford996]

Have an M2 Ipad Pro om order and it's scheduled for delivery on Dec 14. It's an early Christmas present to myself. I've been looking at a lot of Ipad Pro setup videos and yours are great! I like your setup, not only does it work well but it looks nice and neat. Whose cables are you using with the Ipad and the USB Hub? There seem to be a ton to choose from.

[@Hydrogen101]

I’d like to use it like a waycom tablet for Pixelmator or fine scrubbing and color grading with FCP. Apple has a goldmine if they can get it to work like a custom workspace for apps and letting 3rd parties setup an experience.

[@smepable]

Can you use any monitor or only Apple Studio Display? I would really like to see how you use the Davinci Resolve App with this Setup, how the Performance of AI Features like Magic Mask perform!

[@dennismarlowe]

In this setup, can you use the Studio Display's webcam when you use FaceTime?

[@ourladyoflourdeschurchmp8572]

Where can I find Stage Manager? It is not in the App Store. Also, am I able to mirror my iPad Pro onto my Mac desktop?

[@kerbalette156]

Love the desk lamp. Can it change Color?

[@LeeWeems]

Which cable are you using to connect your iPad to the monitor in this video?

[@allenschneider1847]

What 24" 4k display would you recommend to use with MacBook or iPad's?

[@Izudra]

I have bad input lag on my extrrnal Monitor (APC Gaming 140hz) but only with my IPad. Pc stays clean and lag free

[@bluej1n333]

Since the ipad has pro motion, will my high refresh rate monitor monitor also display pro motion? that would be sick

[@alanelizondo174]

Question ?? I have my iPad updated to IOS 16. Not 16.2. Is that the reason I am not able to use the dual monitor set up ? I’m only able to mirror my monitor and it also doesn’t resize to for the screen appropriately. I’m so excited to use it as you showed in the first minute of the video. Any clarification would be amazing! -thank you

[@bebopguy]

That lighting/lamp? Where can I get that?!

[@JSPatel-lj8ue]

Hello, what is the name of the mind mapping app (and is it Mac OS or iPad OS)? Also, where did you get that lamp?

[@supbrice]

Thanks for the review....Can you tell us about that "Google" device you have on your table? Thank you

[@sansin6250]

Is Stage Manager performance on external monitor any better/smoother with the M2 iPad Pro, compared to the M1 iPad? Also, does the iPad overheat during the external monitor session?

[@T0ban]

The only thing that is missing is separate volume controls for apps so I can watch a stream on mute while watching another thing. This would be a massive game changer for many ppl I think

[@Flynhawaiian5]

External display help only available in 16.2? So if I don’t wanna use the beta its not available yet right? Have you seen any major color issues? When i hook up my iPad to my LG ultra wide display the colors are way off. Any tips? Mahalo for the great content

[@zubairskazi]

i really want stage manager on ipad mini 6. it has the a15 which is on par with the a12z so we know it can handle it computationally.

[@Edulaxy]

Earlier when ipad connected to macbook with usb c to usb c wire; we were able to view ipad screen in quick time player (new movie recording) or obs (video capture device). After updating to iOS 17 its gone from Quick Time player and OBS too. Now from where i can stream my iPad screen to to OBS in my mac 😢

[@tomfoolery4077]

What was the hub you were going to put a link to in the discription?

[@MF_OXF]

If it ever comes for sure, doubt we will get the external support till next year

[@Kitarastudio.]

Hi! Can you use the Studio Display’s usb ports to connect external drives?

[@marilyndargitz681]

Is there a future of two monitors so you can have full display when working on larger projects??

[@MarcusFenixGears]

Can I use the camera and the speakers of the display when connecting my ipad pro?

[@tomgardner6294]

What about video conferences using a webcam attached to the monitor. When will that be possible?

[@putindead]

iPad ecosystem is all about unnecessary limitations: you can use a monitor, but not in a clamshell mode, you can resize windows, but only to fit into pre-designed positions, you have a laptop-processor, but you can't run laptop software. it's all about buying a company deciding for you how you should and how you should use the resource that you already paid for. Not sure why one should tolerate that.

[@tango_gru]

Hey Man thanks for the great review..... Can you test doing an RDP to a Windows machines and let me know if it works well ???

[@RemofRenaissance]

If they can bring a near desktop experience to Microsoft excel and a reporting suite like Power Bi or Tableau (I’m a data person) then I’m all in. Nice post / video 👍🏾

[@sebaszie1000]

Same here! Gonna try using windows Remote Desktop on my iPad and see if that works nice with an external monitor!

[@sebaszie1000]

Yup! Works like a charm! I use Microsoft Remote Desktop to logon to my gaming pc at home, and it works great for Power BI!

[@RemofRenaissance]

@@sebaszie1000 You have planted the seed now. This is clearly the future. Thank you! lol

[@rajanrengasamy]

@@sebaszie1000 did you try ? does it work well on the external screen ? thanks

[@sebaszie1000]

Yes I did! All be it on 16.1, I can imagine it beating even beter on 16.2!

[@j340_official]

Don’t conflate issues. The people who are out there railing against stage manager aren’t doing so because of the experience on an external monitor on IPadOS 16.2 beta, but rather the experience on the iPad itself on iPadOS 16.1 final. Stage manager needs some work. First major order of business needs to be free-form windowing, let us resize and move windows wherever we want with no hidden grid. They also need to fix the unceremonious dumping back to springboard when you minimize an app that is the only one on a stage/pile. They need to add a keyboard shortcut to bring up the stage. If I set an app to full screen, there should be a keyboard shortcut to place it back into windowed mode in the same size and position on screen that it was in prior to being full-screened. They need to allow apps/windows to overlay the springboard, without blurring it out (like we can on the Mac). So for example, this would allow a user to interact with Spotify while still seeing the contents of the widgets. They should also add a snap-to-grid feature to allow users to snap apps to various grids 2x2 (4 quadrants) 1x3 (1 height, 3 apps each having the same width), etc. Finally, they should consider allowing the use of slide over while stage manager is active. Say for example I have Safari open and I want to access Apple Music or Spotify, why not allow me to slide those apps over briefly for me to interact with them, then slide them out of the way? I can already do slide over when stage manager is not active… so why not also when it’s active?

[@HISPEKK]

When using a MacBook Pro with a large external Monitor and D resolve can you use the MacBook as a video output Monitor using the big screen for editing. Thanks for the great films.

[@EdTechDigest]

What is that light around your HomePod mini?

[@ThePerlenoir78]

I don’t have the smart key board, I have the other Apple key board, would I need a mouse? I saw you discuss how to use the touch mouse features, but not the other apple keyboard and an external mouse.

[@physed-foot]

Hi there! Great channel. So if all I need is access to Safari to get onto my Google suite, and access to KZbin, and iMovie, the iPad 11 pro can basically be my desktop computer?

[@_Vladimiro]

Tell me please, for a person with very poor eyesight, 27 inch monitor with what resolution is better to buy so that the elements displayed on it through the iPad Pro M1 were as large as possible? FullHD, 2K or 4K? I know that on the iPad you can select the magnification of screen elements, but I do not know which of these three resolutions of the monitor will be the largest elements? I would really appreciate an answer. Thank you!

[@Bzakey3]

FYI, there is a Thunderbolt socket as part of the iPad Magic Keyboard (on the left side), so you actually have two sockets in that set-up.

[@Dailytekk]

No it’s just for charging unfortunately

[@davidmontgomery874]

Thanks for the Stage Mgr., info. I have an older monitor Dynex brand actually. I connect my M1 iPad Pro to the Dynex but nothing happens on the Dynex monitor. I am using a Zagg keyboard case for my M1 iPad Pro so I have the keyboard. I am seeing the little blue icon on the top right of my M1 iPad Pro so it is recognizing the plugin to the external monitor. I do have a Bluetooth mouse -would it need to be paired with the Dynex monitor for my setup to work? Many thanks in advance for any tips you can offer.

[@RoseGokuBlack24]

It would be cool if they put macOS to the iPad as a form of extension. Like how samsung galaxy phones/tablets can go dex mode when connected to display, Apple maybe can put the iPads running iPadOS when it's by itself but it can be converted and run as MacOS when connected to an external display. This way it's a win-win situation for everybody including Apple in a sense that Apple still have people using their iPadOS but consumers be happy to finally have MacOS on laptop albeit needing a display.

[@iefuoxkwmcjz]

but then people would just mostly buy ipads instead of their more expensive macs
