I cannot set up sidecar on my iMac.

I cannot set up sidecar with iPad on my iMac (running Catalina). The display preferences show that Airplay is turned off and there is no option to turn it on. Airplay icon is also not showing on the menu bar. Ipad is connected, but not shown on sidecar settings Devices. Firewall is also set up correctly. Any suggestions?
