When My DisplayLink-Based Product Is Connected to My Mac Running macOS 12 Monterey, I Do Not See ‘Notifications’ From the Operating System. When I Disconnect the DisplayLink-Based Product From My Mac, Notifications Work As Expected. Why Is This?
Last Update: November 10th, 2021Article ID: 1136923
Plugable has received reports of Notifications not working as expected when a DisplayLink-based product (such as our UD-3900 or UD-6950Z docking stations) is connected to a Mac running macOS 12 Monterey.
The cause of this behavior is still being investigated, however in our experience making a small change within the ‘Notifications & Focus’ preference settings can help.
To make this change, please follow these steps:
- Click on the ‘System Preferences’ icon (looks like a gear) in the macOS Dock at the bottom of your screen
- Click on the ‘Notifications and Focus’ application
- At the bottom of the ‘Notifications and Focus’ application window, click to place a checkmark in the ‘When mirroring or sharing the display’ option under the ‘Allow notifications’ section. An example screenshot with this option highlighted is included below:
