iPad to iMac pairing via Bluetooth

I received a message stating that using Bluetooth to connect my iPad Pro to my iMac is not supported. But Bluetooth must be active on both devices for Universal Control to work. I am unable to to get UC working and I assume Bluetooth incompatibility is the issue? (iMac 12.3, iPad Pro 15.4) Edit: I can use "mirroring" only, handoff of mouse and keyboard does not work.
