Answer

Hello. 
From the links below I understand that a 2011 Mac still contains this function, after 2014 it was removed. 
However, there are boundary conditions for the versions of the operating systems. In addition, the connection should be made via a Thunderbolt cable. 
I have never tried it myself.
