Not all USB-C ports carry video: here's how to check for DisplayPort Alt Mode
USB-C video capability depends on DisplayPort Alternate Mode, a feature that lets a single cable carry both data and display signals, but it requires the device, cable, and monitor to all support it. Older USB 3.1/3.2 devices may or may not include this support depending on the manufacturer, while USB4 and all Thunderbolt 3-5 connections guarantee it.
