  Or just a converter from USB-C to whatever you have on your current screen.

  DisplayLink. The Dell box I use to hotdesk my office laptop by day also works as a KVM on my pixel 9a. I get power, monitor, keyboard, mouse and ethernet on one cable.

    Do you mean DisplayPort?

      No, that’s different. Displaylink is basically KVM over USB-C.

        No. DisplayLink is video out over a regular USB connection, not “alt mode”. It’s for when you don’t have true video out. It’s compressed to hell and stupid.

        As far as i know, display link requires software not available on the pixel, so you must be using display port and confusing both. Display port supports all the things you said

        I think you mean DP Alt Mode.
