How to use the Roblox App Beta (Mac & Windows)

I personally find it doesn’t keep me logged in normally anyways, as well as a few others

For me the first time you do it then you can join anytime via the icon or via the browser and you’ll be in the new app experience, but trying again through the code logs you off again.

I got the app to work, but when I try to customize my avatar this happens:

Did I do something wrong?

That’s why Roblox Windows App Beta is called Roblox Windows App Beta. Not everything in this app is perfect. If you notice a bug, PM the bug reports team and they’ll file a ticket to fix it.

@iiplayblo_x try leaving the beta and getting back in. That fixed the app to me.

You can do that going into the settings inside the app.

at the end, i prefer linux lol , windows and mac are still very good however , linux is the king of customization , even if we have to use grapejuice/wine it runs very fine , one thing i noticed . i installed lubuntu(a fork of ubuntu that can run on EVEN 64MB of ram and still run) on a 1gb ram computer , roblox ran better than my main with 4gigs , :ohmy:

(by roblox i mean both studio and player)

Why did you reply to me instead of her?

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
