The airplay doesn't turn "on"

Hello Happy new year to everybody! I have a Mac book air (Middle 2019) and an iPad (5th generation) I tried to choose sidecar but I discovered that the option at airplay monitor is always "off" and I can't turn it on (there is no option) My firewall settings are ok , so as iCloud... I appreciate if somebody has an answer

Thank you


MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

I have the same setup as yours. Bad news for us. Your iPad (5th Generation) will not work with Sidecar. The iPad 6th generation and newer is the minimum requirement. Click on this link Use your iPad as a second display for your Mac with Sidecar - Apple Support for more information. The system requirements are listed in the lower section of the document.
