Connecting my MacBook to the Interactive Digital Display
This article will guide you through the process of connecting your MacBook (or PC laptop if you have two USB-C connections) to the Interactive Digital Display located in some general education classrooms on campus.
1. Find the two USB C cables on the right side of the Interactive Digital Display.

3. To enable the touch screen feature of the Interactive Digital Display, you will need to insert both USB C cables.
Tip: it doesn't matter that your MacBook or laptop does not have a touch screen, as the Interactive Digital Display will still function as a touch screen.

4. Click on the Red dot to close the Keyboard Setup Assistant dialog if it appears.
This dialog appears on some Macs, but not all. As usual with a Mac, click on the dot to the far left top corner to close the dialog.
