MacOS 12.3 has been released

You can control multiple Macs or iPads with a single keyboard or mouse if you have more than one. Common Control, often known as Universal Control, is an alternative to products such as Logitech Flow, Synergy, and Free Barrier.
Once the function is set on the devices, we can add their screens as additional monitors on the Mac, put their areas, and then move the pointer over the edge of one display to transfer control to another device. Everything comes together, and each device connects through LAN and a shared Apple ID.
