You do know you can just drag the volume icon from the control center back to the menu bar, right?

And the Touch Bar volume controls are probably the nicest UX on a Touch Bar, since it allows to change the volume quite fast with a simple drag & slide.




I don’t mind the Touch Bar volume control, you just don’t lift your finger and drag the icon. Same for screen brightness.

My only gripe is that my 16” MBP gets so hot using the touch bar burns my finger.


How is anyone supposed to work out that you can drag a volume icon from the control center to the menu bar?

It's nice that you can. But as clear affordances go, that really isn't one.


You can also go to System Preferences > Dock & Menu Bar > Sound > Show in Menu Bar.
