How to Install Driver on macOS
Note: Screen Recording Permissions on macOS must be granted. This allows the app to display images on connected monitors—no information is recorded.
Do I need to install software in order to use the device?
Yes, DisplayLink software is required for the UD-ULTCDL for full functionality. Manual installation is required for macOS, Windows installation is typically automatic. We recommend installing the latest DisplayLink software for the best performance.
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.
Does this dock allow for three displays even on base M1, M2, or M3 Macs?
Yes. Enabled by DisplayLink technology, UD-ULTCDL can connect three displays even if the computer supports only one display output on its own. DisplayLink Manager installation required on Mac.
Which USB-C port on the dock can be used to connect my computer?
The USB-C port on the rear of the dock is dedicated for connecting your laptop. The front port is a hub port only, so it doesn’t work to connect a computer to the dock.
Why aren’t all three displays connecting to my dock?
Please confirm your laptop’s USB-C port supports video output (Alt mode), and that you have the DisplayLink driver/software installed.
