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.

• Once the download is complete, install the software (.exe file)
• 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, as you install it you may be prompted to allow the app to run via System Preferences > Security, and you may also be prompted to restart the computer.  Once installed/restarted, 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, go through the steps to install the driver, then restart your computer. Once restarted, plug the classroom's blue-marked USB cable into your laptop as described below ("And then") and look for your screen to be projected or shown on the secondary Acer monitor. You may need to press the "Help" button on the classroom's touch screen control panel (if your classroom has one). If you have further issues displaying from a Mac with a legacy OS, please contact us.
