Universal Control Not Working - No Option to Link Keyboard/Mouse

I am unable to get Universal Control to work. I am on the most recent versions of the beta on both macOS and iPadOS. I can use SideCar without an issue, but I never get the option to Link Keyboard/Mouse. I have everything checked. I have unchecked and rebooted and checked the boxes again on both devices. I have gone to the extreme to reset my Mac and iPad to get it to work and still no option to link the two together.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.4

Hi Hawthornn,

Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!

We understand that you're unable to use Universal Control on your Mac and iPad running the beta version of macOS and iPadOS.

Because the version of iPadOS and macOS you are running is still in beta, some features and applications may not work correctly, and you may experience unexpected behavior. In this case, we'd recommend that you share your feedback about this with Apple directly here: Beta Feedback

Take care!

Thanks for getting back to us, Hawthornn. It’s appreciated. However, we’re unable to troubleshoot any beta iPadOS or macOS version. If you’d like to remove the beta versions from your Mac and iPad, we recommend contacting Apple Support for help with this: Get Support

All the best.
