New MacOS Sonoma

[PVJG]

I upgraded the other day. Everything seems to work fine except there is an annoying purple screen sharing icon in the menu bar on all screens whenever display link is running.

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?
