I have a problem using DisplayLink when using wavink usb. both monitor are working fine as I am able to do applications on both screen. However, when using youtubetv application, the screen goes back. I unplug my wavink device and I am able to watch youttubetv on my MacBook. when plugging the device, the MacBook goes black and both of my monitor too when using YouTube tv. Why? I have upgraded my browser to macOS Tahoe and the problem happened. Before with macOS Sequoia, it was working fine. What seem to be the problem?

Note from volunteer moderator - I moved this question into the macOS section of the forum
The behavior you describe is expected when using DisplayLink based products with a Mac, and DisplayLink documents this behavior here --> https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/830301-content-protected-video-does-not-play-on-mac-while
With that said, some have reported that disabling the 'Hardware Acceleration' option within the Chrome or Firefox browser can sometimes produce a different result.
