Use Control Center on your Mac
Control Center brings menu bar items such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Sound together in a single place. Plus you get additional controls and instant access to them all.
To view Control Center, click the Control Center icon in the menu bar.
Click an item in Control Center to see additional controls for that item. For example, click Wi-Fi to choose from a list of nearby networks, click Sound to choose an audio device, or click Display to see options for Dark Mode, Night Shift, or True Tone.
If you prefer an item to appear on its own in the menu bar, just drag it from Control Center to the menu bar:
Control Center is available by upgrading to macOS Big Sur.
How to customize Control Center
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Dock & Menu Bar.
- Select an item in the sidebar.
