Trying to connect 2 external monitors to 2022 13" MBPro M2; not detecting second monitor for extended desktop

Having the same issue. System Settings > 'Displays' only recognizes either one external display or the other when both USB-C adapters are connected.


MacBook Pro, 2022, M2, Ventura 13.4, 2 USB-C ports


Displays are connected via adapter's HDMI ports.


1st USB-C

Adapter: MOKiN model#: MOUC0401

Display: AOC 24B2W1 model#:24B2XH


2nd USB-C

Adapter: MOKiN model#: MUC0501B

Display: ViewSonic VX3276-FHD model#: VS17220


Have tried DisplayLink Manager and macOS InstantView and neither app detects USB display. I also have a UtechSmart adapter model#:UCN 3273 I have tried and doesn't work either.


Thank you in advance for your help.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.4

Does your model Mac support two external monitors?


Excerpted from MacBook Pro 13-inch - Tech Specs - Apple:


Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display at millions of colors and:

  • One external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz

Are those DisplayLink-equipped adapters? The DisplayLink workaround (for having multiple, software-driven displays) requires DisplayLink support in the external device as well as using a third-party DisplayLink driver.


It's not a good idea to mix and match USB graphics products from DisplayLink and other vendors.
