In this guide, you will find instructions about installing DisplayLink software.

(info) Eesti keeles

DisplayLink is software that enables you to manage and use graphics solutions based on DisplayLink technology, including support for connecting and managing multiple displays, enabling a seamless user experience in both work and entertainment environments. The application allows you to configure display layouts, update software, and ensure the smooth operation of DisplayLink adapters and docks.

DisplayLink technology allows Macs to use multiple external displays via USB-C, even if the Mac's own graphics card doesn't support more than one or two displays. This is especially useful for M1 and M2 Macs, which don't offer native multi-display support.
