    This is very much needed... Android needs a new app which automatically support an external monitor in Desktop mode, not just a screen mirroring...
    There are many DisplayLink dock that are losing market shares as they don't support Android (Anker prime DL7400 being one of them!)
    Can you simply bypass the DisplayLink and use USB DP Alt Mode instead (Display Port Alternative mode) when available
    Using Samsung Dex over a Displaylink Dock would be awesome.
    DisplayLink should not only be for Mac!!! Give Android some love!

    DisplayLink can already support mulitple USB displays connected on Android with the DisplayLink desktop app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.displaylink.desktop.demo&hl=en_GB

    However Android does not have a concept of multiple displays like other OSes. As of Android Pie, a single app can use more than one screen, eg powerpoint uses the phone screen to show presenter notes, and the extended screen shows the presentation.

    For DisplayLink to properly support dual displays on Android, like other OSes, changes would be needed to Android to support multiple displays.

    Post of 2019? we are in 2025
    Any update on supporting "Desktop Mode" on android connected to an external monitor (via a DisplayLink Dock)? Can you redo the "Presenter" app and enable the desktop mode rather than merely mirroring the phone screen?
    This is a MUST feature if DisplayLink wants to stay current and stay in the market.
