Mac Studio not mirroring

[markoliver]

Hello people,
I just bought recently a Mac Studio for video editing which i have hooked to a Lenovo display. Today I came across the news that apple released a mirroring beta function to Monterey that should allow you to mirror any of your screens to any of your macs ( i thought). i also have a 2017 iMac that i use for photo editing. I was searching for a solution to use my 2017 iMac as a monitor for Mac Studio and came across Luna display. Sounds good but with the latest Monterey mirroring feature i thought that this Luna bussines wont be necessary anymore.

There s a catch though. Mirroring my screen from Mac Studio does not work! I can mirror my iMac on the Mac Studio screen (dunno' why in the world would i want to do that) but when i enter screen mirroring display preferences, nothing shows up, there s no monitor visible/detectable. Not even the option to find new devices...so

The question i have is:
Am i doing something wrong?
or is this just apple indirectly telling me to buy the studio display

Also if anybody has any experience with luna display, drop it down i woul really like to hear if it would work for me
Thanks a lot !

Are you confusing screen mirroring with Airplay screen sharing? With Airplay screen sharing you should be able to send your screen from your Mac Studio to your iMac as long as it is running MacOS Monterey. See this article for details:
