No airplay icon on my iMac24

Hi there,


After installing El Capitan on my iMac24 (mid 2008), I can not see the "Airplay" icon in the menu bar (top right of the screen)


What could be the explanation to this?


Thanks

A 2008 iMac is too old to support Airplay. Please look over the system requirements below for Airplay:


Requirements for using AirPlay

If you go to Apple menu > System Preferences, click Displays, and don't see the option to "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available," your Mac doesn't meet these requirements.

Minimum requirements if your Mac and Apple TV are on the same network:
