Please consider making a training video series for a deep dive in how to use MAPS VTT. Honestly I am getting frustrated after about 10 minutes to the point where I go back to Roll20. I would prefer to only use one system.
Thanks
Chris

I'd honestly say Maps is fairly intuitive, but as someone who wrote the original use-guides I'd be happy to help out answer any questions. Here are some quick start topics:
Accessing Maps
You have a few ways
Go to "Play D&D" then "Maps VTT", then from the dropdown select your campaign
Go to "Play D&D" then "My Campaigns". Select a campaign then select "Launch VTT" in the top right
Adding a Map from a D&D Beyond Source
In the top left, click "Select Map" then select "Open Map Browser"—this will open automatically if you have no maps added
From the map browser, scroll down to find the desired source
From the source, select the map you wish to add
The dialogue will let you rename the map and select from Quick Play or Scene Prep versions if available
Uploading a Map
In the top left, click "Select Map" then select "Open Map Browser"—this will open automatically if you have no maps added
From the map browser, scroll down to "Uploaded Maps" under "Essentials"
Select "Upload Map"
Follow the prompts to upload, name, and scale your map
Navigating Between Maps
Click "Select Map"
Select your desired map from the list. Maps are sorted alphabetically
Adding Creatures
Select the token icon from the sidebar or press T to open the token browser
Find your desired Monster, Player, or Companion
Either click + icon or drag them onto the map
Bringing in Players
Players can access the map from their character sheet using the button in the top right, or you can send them a link by clicking the information button in the bottom right of the map, and selecting "Invite"
Showing the Map to Your Players
Click "Display Map" to reveal the map, and "Hide Map" to conceal it
That's the basics, I'd be happy to explain any other features
