Today’s Quick Tip….
How to put a Volume Control on your Mac’s menu bar
If you’re a Mac user you probably know there’s a handy Volume Control located in your Mac’s Control Center. Just click on the Control Center icon and it’ll be right there, ready for you to use when you need it.
But guess what? If you use the Volume Control a lot you can place it directly onto the menu bar itself.
Simply open the Control Center and click on the existing Volume Control and drag it onto the menu bar, then drop it there.
That’s it – you’re done. From now on you won’t have to open the Control Center just to adjust the volume.
