Following the macOS Monterey 12.4 and iPadOS 15.5 updates, Universal Control is no longer in beta. It is now an official feature that Apple has deemed issue-free, and the beta labeling has been removed. Universal Control was introduced in March and it allows you to use a single mouse/trackpad and keyboard across multiple Macs and iPads. For the Studio Display, macOS Monterey 12.4 adds support for the 15.5 firmware, which is designed to improve the webcam quality.
Apple has published macOS Monterey 12.4, the fourth major upgrade to the operating system that was released in October 2021. macOS Monterey 12.4 arrives over two months after the release of macOS Monterey 12.3, which included Universal Control. The macOS Monterey 12.4 update is available for all eligible Macs via the Software Update section of System Preferences. For those who are still using Big Sur, Apple has published a macOS Big Sur 11.6.6 upgrade, as well as a macOS Catalina 2022-004 security update.
