The AirPlay drop down menu in the menu bar would search the local network for AirPlay destination devices when the menu is accessed. When it finds no connectable devices, it would just say “AirPlay: Off”. When if finds connectable devices, it would list them below that.
AirPlay destination devices are: Apple TV box, or select third party devices, or newer Macs (with macOS Monterey).
AirPlay must be activated on the receiving device, or it will not allow connecting.
AirPlay 2-destination devices may require macOS Mojave 10.14.5 or later.
