Airplay Display Icon Missing

Where's my AirPlay Display icon? I'm able share my screen by selecting settings > displays> select AirPlay Display to mirror my screen, but I don't see the airplay icon in the header anymore.


I want the AirPlay icon because it's easier to navigate and is better for usability.


1 click in the header

vs settings > displays> select AirPlay Display

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14
