How to set up hybrid zoom classroom with 1 projector, 1 laptop and a second monitor

I want my project to duplicate my laptop and my second monitor to show video participants.

The problem is my laptop (Thinkpad E14 Gen 2 Intel) only has 1 HDMI port which is already used by the projector.

What "adaptor" or device do I need to connect my laptop and second monitor so that they can work as dual monitors?

Some told me to get HDMI Splitter but I found out that a splitter only duplicates does not extend.

Thank you.
