same issue - looks like it's a macOS feature, but annoyingly no way to say that DisplayLink is allowed to monitor my screen. What makes it extra annoying is that every now and then it flickers and it's just enough to distract me!

This is a macOS feature its part of the enhanced privacy and security setting telling you that an app or devices is using a screen record function to extend displays,

You may also see it you use things like zoom and remote desktop Desktop software

it isn't actually recording anything though

Yes, unfortunately we do not have choice as this is built-in macOS.

The only way to change this would be for you to also report that to the OS vendor as the message being not desired or helpful for docks as it means the icon is pretty much always here, stopping its usefulness.

Just upgraded to a new laptop running to Sonoma from an older laptop on Ventura.

Wow - that menu bar icon IS annoying! Is there any way to remove it or hide it? This is new in Sonoma right?

I have updated both min 14" MacBook Pro M1 Max & 15" MacBook M2 Air. No Issues other than reboot and have to open lid to login before DL starts.

Using 2 Dell 27" displays and Dell D6000 Dock.

Will be testing another Dock later with 3 displays

To be fair, my third DisplayLink monitor (DP-ALT) isn't even stable on MacOS Ventura (13.6).

I updated to Sonoma on my M2 air and no new issues.

I still have an issue where my second (BVU195-usb attached) monitor sometimes doesn't recover from sleep and I have to disconnect/reconnect to make it work.

After updating to Sonoma I'm experiencing quite noticeable lag, especially when scrolling – and sometimes the momentum scrolling using trackpad or magic mouse straight up doesn't work (scroll is very choppy).

Most problematic though is that if the Displaylink software is closed, it won't ever run again without a complete reinstall (reboot won't fix it). What happens is that if the app is ever closed and then opened after installation, it will without exception instantly crash the moment the USB-C cable from the hub is connected.

I'm experiencing very bad lag on my external monitor with Sonoma on MBA 15'. I'm already on latest Displaylink Manager 1.10.0 Alpha 2 Build 116.

It was much smoother before I upgraded from Ventura to Sonoma a few days ago.
