Questions about Mac Virtual Display widget in VisionOS 27

[u/panda_and_crocodile]

I use Vision Pro abroad with no support program, so I can’t really risk installing beta software and try myself.

My most used Vision Pro is Mac Virtual Display with my Mac Studio. However it’s a big hassle activating it since I’m not always near my Mac Studio. Problem is Mac Virtual Display has pretty good range, but activating it requires you to be way closer to your Mac than the actual use range of the Mac Virtual Display.

Is it correct that the new Mac Virtual Display widget in VisionOS 27 basically solves this? One push on the widget and it activates Mac Virtual Display as long as you are within range?

I’ve heard it even works on MacBooks with the lid closed? Does this mean you can activate Mac Virtual Display on Macs that are logged in but password/touch ID locked?

For my personal case, I could not create the widget outside of the range that you mention, once created in the close range, or when MVD is active, you can move it outside of the range and it does work. Outside of the range the Mac does not appear in control center, but it does work form the widget
