Hello! Virtual Teaching from home would be easier if I could figure out how to manage a dual screen!
I'm trying to connect a 2017 MacBook (2 thunderbolt ports) + 2017 iMac. I can't figure out what cords I need. I purchased a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) cord and connected it to both devices but they could not detect one another to engage dual screens.
