This seems to work really well but it forces me to buy quite expensive.

Is there any way to manage DisplayLink via commandline / applescript / automator API?
If not, do you have plans to add this simple feature which allows as to make our own scripts?

I was wondering if maybe you was trying to find that kind of bypass, maybe there is a way to disable screen recording if there is a problem to do that with DLM?

Thx for all answer. Best regards

When you say, "I'm looking for a workaround to be able to use apple watch parallel with DL." my impression is you wish to be able to unlock your system with an Apple Watch while a DisplayLink device is in use.

Presuming for the moment that my understanding is correct, DisplayLink recently posted DisplayLink Manager Application 1.5 BETA --> https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/file?id=1732 that includes beta support for using an Apple Watch to unlock the system.

The release notes --> https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/a...ease+Notes.txt speak to this in more detail:
