Presenter Overlay Not Working at All

I have a 2020 macbook air with a 1.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7. I recently upgraded to Sonoma 14.4.1 and the presenter overlay feature is not working at all. I have tried sharing my screen from Facetime, OBS and Zoom and nothing works. When click on the screen sharing icon after I share the option for presenter overlay is simply not there.


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.12

After 2 hours of searching and troubleshooting, I found this tiny fine print: Requires macOS Sonoma or later on a Mac with Apple silicon on Use Reactions, Presenter Overlay, and other effects when videoconferencing on Mac - Apple Support (PH)


The page only came up when I searched "mac presenter overlay "intel" chip". NOWHERE else online does it say that intel chips are not supported. It seems to be that this is something that should be mentioned a lot. Not everyone has the latest mac...
