during Google io 2022 there was a session showing whats new in Android Studio.

one of the new features was the ability to see running devices in the embedded Device Manager.

the presenter was able to interact with the physical phone or via the running devices screen employing the pc mouse and/or keyboard.

i have installed dolphin and electric eel versions of Android Studio and cannot access the Running Devices window.

has this feature not been released yet?
