Remote disc feature is not appearing on the finder sidebar of my 2018 Macbook Pro

I have a 2018 Macbook Pro and the 'remote disc' feature (found on the finder sidebar) is not appearing anymore. I recall it being apart of previous macOS, but suddenly it is not there anymore.

Why is the feature no longer there? Is there a way to get it back?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Unfortunately, it’s gone from Catalina:

That means you’ll need to buy an external optical drive.
