Universal Control Not Coming in macOS Monterey 12.1 and iPadOS 15.2

I can't wait for universal control! The new "feature" introduced with Monterey where streaming HomeKit videos are blurred when the home app is in the background is incredibly stupid - I can't watch my HomeKit baby monitor on my external monitor while working on the built-in monitor at the same time. I need to run HomeKit on a second computer instead...

I've had the same issue. My solution has been to run the camera video in a PiP window

Its public beta releases...

They should just do away with version numbers and do what Microsoft was doing. Spring feature update and Fall feature update.

In all honesty, Apple should be doing that instead of pushing out mock ups during their promotions then saying "it's delayed". It just doesn't look right.

Is there any speculation as to why this feature is taking so long to get right? It... just doesn't seem to be that complicated?

Looks like Apple is still holding back features it promised it'd come out with. Come on crew - it's kinda getting old. These OS teases are more "Program Manager" specials now more than ever.

What was announced at WWDC was a roadmap for the entire yearly cycle of macOS, it wasn't for 12.0. So if it comes with 12.2 or 12.3, it wasn't held back. If it comes with 13.x, then it was held back.

Damn Apple. but take your time. I'm still OK to keep using Barrier, though it's not perfect.
I'm always afraid of your beta quality features.
 
Apple has been dropping the ball left and right lately. And my &^%$ing watch has been "preparing to ship" for two weeks now. Going to miss my Dec 1-8 date.
 
They sure are taking their sweet time implementing universal key logger, I mean universal control. Maybe the backdoors to it are tougher to implement than the isight cameras that could be accessed by schools without the camera light coming on. Where is Mark Zuckerberg gonna put his piece of tape this time?

In general, you're absolutely correct, but I think in the case of universal control, Apple said it would be released in the fall, so as of December 22, it is technically held back.

It’s a shame because this looked really cool

apple is killing it in hardware for the most part but the software updates are definitely not of the same quality recently

Yeah the WWDC preview of macOS is useless now, because most "killer" features don't ship with the release version, and the brand new hardware you buy in September - the killer feature doesn't arrive till months later.
