in the menu bar.An orange dot next to the icon indicates the microphone on your Mac is in use; you can see which apps are using it at the top of Control Centre.
Do any of the following with items in Control Centre:
Drag a slider to increase or decrease a setting — for example, drag the Sound slider to adjust the volume on your Mac.
Click an icon to turn a feature on or off — for example, click AirDrop or Bluetooth to turn it on or off.
Click an item (or its arrow
) to show more options — for example, click Focus to show your Focus list and turn a Focus on or off, or click Screen Mirroring to choose a target display.
