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

[Ling81]

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.

hi ling81,

i have not tried this.

please see

Using Zoom desktop client with dual monitors – Zoom Support

i think that you may have a usb 3.2 gen 1 type a and a usb 2.0 gen 1 type ports on your laptop.  there are usb to hdmi adapters available on amazon.

thanks,  eliot
