In today's revised Beta 3, I now have a purple menubar icon that when clicked displays: AirPlayUIAgent is capturing your screen

I'm guessing this has something to do with Macs now being a valid Airplay target, but odd that it's highlighted purple, like the yellow highlight when something is recording from the mic. Anyone else have this, and is it expected functionality?

I am seeing similar behaviour, except it says "Dock is capturing your screen". Then it flashes quickly to the microphone access icon then back to the purple screen sharing icon with the previous message, then resolves itself. I think its very unlikely to be malware since this a beta with new mirroring capabilities as you mentioned, but it would be nice to confirm.

Another user here on Reddit with a "is capturing your screen" icon and message. For them it is SystemUIServer.
