I also have a Macbook 12" and after trying several options I was finally able to connect a second external monitor through Airplay. Had to buy a Wireless HDMI Dongle ($30 in Amazon) for the second monitor. Hope it helps

LandingZone USB-C Dock

The LandingZone USB-C Dock for MacBook Pro with Touch Bar is a non-Thunderbolt-based dock with a USB-C passthrough (so the passthrough works with Thunderbolt accessories). This dock is meant for 15″ MBPs only and won’t work with Windows Machines.

  • Ports The device has one dual HDMI/ miniDisplay Port (you can use one or the other) and a second HDMI port to allow you to use at least two monitors. It also has one SD and one microSD card slot, three USB-C ports (data only, no video support), three USB 3.1 Type A ports and a gigabit ethernet port. This dock is one of the few with dual display connections. You can connect at least two displays directly to the dock. You can also connect a third via the passthrough on the right side of the dock. This is probably the best feature of the dock.
  • Build Quality The device is made of plastic; and unfortunately, feels cheap. Docking is done by manually inserting both USB-C ports on the left side of your MBP into the available adapters on the dock and then sliding the audio jack and 3rd USB-C adapter into the ports on your Mac’s right side. The process slides adapters into three of four USB-C ports and effectively squeezes the dock together. The dock has a dedicated release lever to assist with undocking.This manual squeezing together is problematic. Things don’t always line up right and don’t always sit well together, and the ports don’t always activate. Sometimes you need to sit and resit cables and insure everything fits tightly.



An HDMI splitter allows you to plug two devices into one HDMI input and switch between them without the hassle of unplugging cables. You can also use an HDMI splitter to show what is playing on one source, such as a Blu-ray player, on multiple televisions.Display your DVDs on multiple devices using an HDMI splitter
