Then you should have your answer via the link I provided you. The USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter would not work as it can only support connecting to a single display by HDMI. The USB-C port on this adapter is for charging devices.


You would need to connect each monitor to a separate Thunderbolt 3/USB-C port with the appropriate adapter for each monitor.

What display INPUTs are provided by your displays? or what make&model and these can be looked up?


Best results are obtained by using thunderBolt-3 or thunderbolt-2, or DisplayPort family, if available, but Apple does not sell all the possible cables/adapters you may need for all options.


You must make the conversion from Computer output to display Input is at most ONE adapter -- "stacking" adapters almost never works out.
