MacOS DisplayLink Manager Screen Recording permission blocks streaming (Netflix, etc)

I was told by a Netflix rep the following:

REP: That means that the HDCP certification itself for the cable that you're using for the external screen is already outdated. You can go to the nearest techstore in your area and look for a cable with an updated HDCP cerification to at least 2.2. Since our contents are protected by copyrights and licenses, there's that certifications for these hardwares to allow the safe travel of the shows from one device to another.Sort of related to piracy prevention.

So if the said certification requirement is not met, video won't really play or there'd be the actual message about HDCPs. You can still watch with the external screens by having new cables that are updated with the recent HDCP certifications though.

Does anyone here know if the cable is the one that goes into the Display link port or the cables that go into the monitors?
