Freezing on step 3 of getting started

Not sure what's happening, but when I follow the get started guide, I get to step 3 where it talks about minimizing the touchbar. When I click the link provided to do so the app freezes and I have to force quit.

Is there a manual way to do this? Will the "swipe to get started" always appear when having the BTT app open? Running a 2019 i9 16" MBP.

You don't need to do that step, just a recommendtion. Try skipping it, let me know if it works
