Set Up of Two External Monitors with Intel MacBook Pro 13"

How do I set up two external displays on my 2020 MacBook Pro 13"? (Model A2251 - 2.0GHz quad-core w/Intel Core I5 / 16GB / 512 GB). Do I need a hub or can I daisy chain from one monitor to the other?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

Depends on the displays. Some support daisy chaining with TB3 or USB-C ports. If they have DisplayPort or HDMI inputs, you need adapters to connect them directly to your Mac, or you need a dock. For the latter, look at OWC, Brydge, Elgato. Avoid the <$100 docks you will see on Amazon claiming 2-3 displays, they only support one actual desktop.
