Plugable Adapters
Do I need to install software in order to use the device?
Yes, DisplayLink software is required for the USB-VGA-165 for full functionality. Manual installation is required for macOS. Installation is typically automatic on Windows. No driver installation required for ChromeOS.
When installing DisplayLink software on my Mac, why is it necessary to grant ‘Screen Recording’ permission?
macOS requires ‘Screen Recording’ for the DisplayLink driver to work properly. Approving it enables the driver to send data over USB from your computer to the DisplayLink-powered display. No data, images, or pixels are being stored or recorded.
How many adapters can be used on a single computer?
It depends on your operating system. Windows and ChromeOS computers can connect up to six displays using DisplayLink adapters like the USB-VGA-165, while Macs can support up to four.
Can I use this adapter to watch protected content from Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, etc.?
No. USB-VGA-165 does not support High-bandwidth Digital Copy Protection (HDCP), so copy-protected content cannot be played back through this adapter.
