Hey, I had the same issue as the person above. I put quotation marks but when I pressed apply the quotation marks disappeared. Any help please?
This is what I did:
“C:\Users\home\AppData\Local\Roblox\Versions\version-99b3c098642d411d\RobloxPlayerBeta.exe” -app
Try putting --app instead of -app.

Sorry for the late response, but you can fix that removing the last " in .exe, then add another " at the end of --app

You don’t need any quotation marks.
Also top tip for everyone, once you’ve created to the shortcut, pin it to the taskbar and it will automatically open the beta app, even after an update (desktop shortcut will still need to be updated)
Wdym? No matter what you do, the desktop shortcut will still need to be updated every Wednesday. Taskbar shortcuts are hosted in %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar, I’m not entirely sure if Roblox will update the taskbar shortcut automatically in Windows 11, considering IE got removed.
Also is copying the roblox icon to the desktop, then doing what you do to get the beta, and then, change the new icon name to something like “Beta app”, so roblox doesnt delete it when updating

This topic has been updated to include the better method.
If you don’t like the fact you always need to open it through the Roblox Player icon, then try the new method.
This new method also fixes the fact that you would get logged off randomly.
It works on Mac & Windows.
Credits to @LocalWE for bringing this to my attention.

There is another way to do that, just spam create alts accounts, until one gets the banner like this: (mine is in spanish btw, it appears windows, but it will work for mac as its now added)
click that thing, then you will be on the beta, you can log out there then you can log in with your main

Its not exactly an ideal solution and it will only work 10-20% of the time straightaway.
But its a solution, the only as far i know, i just had to create 6 alts and then i got the beta, so its probably gonna be useful on mac
I think I did get it first try on two alts but still, this isn’t a great solution and I personally would like the option of both
I have tried the beta out, I like it to some extent and was exited when the announcement came out. However, if this new app doesn’t stand out from the website then there really is NO POINT in using this as the website will contain more features (like ‘Create’) 
It’s practically the windows store ver with some interface changes-
Is there any way to keep the windows app beta while playing a game through the website? Like I don’t want to have to run the Roblox app on my desktop just to play a new game on the beta app.
The better method should allow for that, which one are you using?
I’m using the one where you change the RobloxPlayerBeta --app
Does the other one I mention not work for you?
Which one are you talking about?
On the OP, you can see there’s two. You’re currently using the 2 one, can you try the first one and see if it works for you?
