macOS requires the user to permit "Screen Recording" for DisplayLink driver to work properly. Approving it enables the DisplayLink 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 send any data or pixels back to DisplayLink/Synaptics.
User is notified about a need for Screen Recording permission in three places.
1. By macOS dialog box on first DisplayLink device plug-in
2. By DisplayLink driver on each device plug-in
3. By DisplayLink Manager app warning in macOS status bar
To approve the permission, please follow these steps:
1. Open System Settings;
2. Go to Privacy & Security > Screen Recording;
3. From Screen Recording tab toggle DisplayLink Manager;
4. Authenticate the changes by using your login details;
5. Click Quit & Reopen.
Once permissions are granted a new icon will show up in the macOS status bar.
