    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.

    Hy,
    Running dual displays on an Android app can be tricky, especially when you’re handling media playback or user interactions across screens. One thing that helps is keeping everything browser-based where possible, since it avoids a lot of rendering conflicts between displays. For example, I’ve used tools like https://dvsnackvideo.com/
    on Android without needing to install anything, and it works smoothly even when multitasking or casting to another screen. Keeping the workflow simple like that can make dual display setups feel much more stable and responsive for users.
