Monitor mode in Wireshark

I am trying to view 802.11 frames from Wireshark and after researching in youtube, I see that I don't have the monitor mode. What do I need so that I can see 802.11 frames from Wireshark. Thanks

On which operating system are you running Wireshark? (The mechanism for getting monitor mode differs from operating system to operating system; libpcap/Npcap tries to hide those details, but it doesn't always work.)
