How do I get 2 external monitors to work with M2 chip?

I have a Macbook Air with a M2 chip inside. I can get one external monitor to work with my docking station but not the other one. I plugged the second monitor in with the docking station and tried it with a USB-C to HDMI and still nothing... It should not be this hard with how much these products are.

MacBook Air, macOS 13.4

Additional hardware is required. The M2 chip only has 2x display output channels and one of those is dedicated to the internal display. See Display Support under Tech Specs.


Solutions:

(a) Get a Video Wall Controller. Those will pretend to be a 3840x1920 ultra wide display and then chop that into 2x 1080p outputs, or pretend to be a 4K display and chop that into 4x 1080p outputs.


(b) Get a USB to HDMI converter. These are software defined, so make sure any model advertises MacOS compatible drivers. Not all of them are.
