I don't want to make you sad, but neither Apple nor Synaptics causes your (and my) streaming video to be unavailable during using DisplayLink software. All those streaming platforms have decided to implement a mechanism to prevent users from recording their content. If the web services, through API provided by Apple, detect that you are recording your screen (if you are recording your screen, it is a huge change that you are also recording their content), they are disabling video. They might not do this, but they've decided to do so. I have not checked their term of service, but I believe that such a "feature" is mentioned.
