Unfortunately, some of the cool macOS Monterey features, such as Universal Control and SharePlay, aren’t ready for launch, so you’ll have to wait until a future version of Monterey arrives to try those out.
To download the update, go to “System Preferences,” then “Software Update.” Once there, you should see the option to install macOS Monterey. Give it some time, and you’ll be ready to enjoy the latest Apple has to offer.
