How do I make my Macbook Air (2020) support two external screens?

How do I make my Macbook Air (2020) support two external screens?


The specs on this computer only allow 1 external screen and I've read that you can download something to make it support more. Does anyone have a suggestion?


I have the cords etc and am all set that way. The previous version supported this and at this time my only option is to upgrade the computer for another $1000 to get a pro that supports many screens and this is not an option.


Apple giveth and Apple taketh away! FRUSTRATING.



MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14

Any time that you find some workaround for an unsupported operating mode for a computer, such as a DisplayLink capable hub and software, any macOS update can break that functionality at any time and you are at the mercy of the vendors to play catch up to update their software, if they are even able to.


Bottomline, if you need support for two displays, you need to buy a computer that supports two displays.
