It’s not done like it was done pre-Covid.

Download and install the DisplayLink App (for Mac*, see more below) (for Windows) on your laptop and run it at least once** on your laptop before using it in any classroom.  You only need to do this download and install process once, not every time you go to a classroom.

Windows:

1. Once the download is complete, install the software (.exe file)
2. Find the DisplayLink app in your computer and launch it once.

* Mac:

• The most obvious "Download" button will only download software for Big Sur OS 11.0 and Catalina OS 10.15.  If you don't have one of these OS installed, click on "Legacy Releases" to find the right Download.  What OS do I have?

...

• If you're on Big Sur or Catalina, do this:
  • Once the download is complete, find the DisplayLink app in the Application folder and launch it. You will now see two interlinked squares in the menu bar.  Click that and check the box for "Launch app automatically after login."  You're done!
• If you're on and earlier Mac OS than 10.14, do this:
  • Once the download is complete, you're done.

Unplug the classroom computer’s USB cable (marked in a blue color), then plug it into a USB port on your laptop.*   Yes, that's right-- unplug it from the classroom computer, this is ok. When you've finished this process, your laptop should look like this (although you may have a power cord plugged in as well):

...

* Your laptop’s port needs to be USB 3.0 compatible.  Most Whitman-issued laptops are compatible.  If you want to know for sure, google “[your computer name (e.g. Macbook Air)] compatible with USB 3?” OR contact the Help Desk.
