USB-C Port Video Support
Not all USB-C ports support video output. Many Windows and Chromebook computers have
multiple USB-C ports, but only support video output from one or two of them. If using a Windows
or Chromebook machine it is important to ensure that you plug the device into a port/ports which
supports video output for it to be able to show video on external monitors.
Many USB-C ports that have no labelling support video
output, however USB-C ports which have a DisplayPort
logo or Intel Thunderbolt logo printed next to them almost
certainly support video output and you should look for these
icons next to the ports on your computer.
If in doubt about whether a USB-C port supports video output, consult the user manual for your
computer or the support information on the manufacturer's website.
The device can be used with USB-C ports which do not support video output; however you will
not be able to connect the HDMI ports to external monitors and show video. The other ports
(Ethernet, audio, card readers and USB ports) will be functional.
