Connect to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) stations at IU

On this page:

Overview

For those who prefer to use their own laptops rather than the workstations in the Student Technology Centers (STCs), University Information Technology Services (UITS) is installing Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) stations. These stations have a monitor and peripherals that you can connect to your laptop with a provided USB-C cable. This charges your device and gives you access to a larger screen or multiple screens for multitasking. For video instructions, see the BYOD playlist on Kaltura.

Connect to BYOD technology

Windows

First verify that your Windows 11 or Windows 10 laptop has a USB-C port, which uses the USB-C connector. If it does not, you will need to get an adapter to connect it to the BYOD station.

To duplicate or extend the display in Windows:

  1. Plug the USB-C cable into the laptop. Windows should automatically detect the connection. If it does not:
    1. From the Start menu, select Settings, then System, and then Display.
    2. Under "Multiple Displays", select Detect.
  2. From the "Display" screen, select the secondary display, and then, from the menu under "Multiple displays", select Extend these displays or Duplicate these displays.

Mac

To connect your Mac laptop to BYOD technology:

  1. Verify that your Mac laptop has a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 port, which uses the USB-C connector. If it does not, you will need to get an adapter to connect it to the monitor.
  2. Connect the monitor to your laptop; macOS should automatically detect the connection.
  3. Open System Preferences and select Displays to choose your display settings.

To use your monitor as an extended desktop:

  1. Select Arrangement to see your current display arrangement.
  2. Click and drag the display boxes to adjust their locations in relation to one another.
  3. The primary display shows a white rectangle at the top. To change the primary display, drag and drop the rectangle onto any of the other displays.

To mirror your desktop on the second display, select Arrangement, and then check Mirror Displays.
