Peet,

I’m using Pat’s office this week, and when I plug his Display Link into my Mac, it won’t turn on. Do I need to change my settings since my computer is a Mac?

His dock does not have a DisplayLink USB video adapter as his computer does not need one. However, his dock *should* drive a single external display with your M1 Macbook Air. My first troubleshooting suggestion would be to pull the power from the back of his dock, count five, then reconnect. Then make sure is displays are on the correct input, connected securely, and powered on. Then connect your computer again.

It's worth considering a new M4 MacBook Air (13" or 15"). They were released about a month ago and are a leap forward from your M1. Most importantly they support two external displays without the need for a Display Link Adapter.

Let me know how that goes for you.

Cheers.Peet
