If you would like to directly connect to your classroom projector with the provided docks, you will have to install the DisplayLink Manager from Self Service. Additionally you will have to enable Screen Recording for the DisplayLink Manager App.


To Install DisplayLink Manager and enable Screen Recording, please follow these steps:


  1. Open Self Service and install DisplayLink Manager:


  2. After you click Install it will immediately say "Open" -- this is a bug in Self Service, it will take a few minutes to actually install.
  3. After installation is complete, an icon should appear in your toolbar at the top of your screen:
  4. There should be an automatic pop-up to enable Screen Recording, but if it does not pop up you can manually check/enable Screen Recording. The explanation point on the icon means that Screen Recording is not enabled.
  5. To enable Screen Recording, go to System Settings:


  6. Then go to "Privacy & Security" and choose "Screen Recording" by scrolling down slightly:
  7. Then enable "DisplayLink Manager" under Screen Recording

  8. After you enable it, it will ask you to Quit and Relaunch. Make sure to complete this step as it will not work if you do not.
