Enable “Screen Recording” to allow the DisplayLink Manager app to capture pixels and send them to your USB peripheral:

1) Please select "Privacy” tab.

2) Navigate to “Screen Recording” in the list on the left.

3) Then tick the “Screen Recording” permission for DisplayLink Manager.


NOTE: For Apple Sillicon (M1), it takes a higher level of protection of customer privacy requirements. Macbook with M1 chip, requires the user to permit "Screen  Recording" in order for DisplayLink devices to work properly. The message is generated by the OS and the screen is not actually being recorded by DisplayLink. Approving it enables the DisplayLink driver to access the pixels it needs to render a mirrored or extended screen and send the pixels over USB from your computer to the DisplayLink display. DisplayLink Manager does not store or record any screen content.
