You can try a USB Video adapter. I use to use this back when I wanted to have 3 monitors but the computer only had 2 monitor output. Ive tried USB to vga but they sell usb to HDMI
Try a USb video card. Like

it isn't amazing but it works
You could get a usb splitter.
Also get a usb-to-hdmi adapter.
If you don't want to use the dock, you can plug a StarTech.com Slim USB 3.0 to HDMI External Video Card Multi Monitor Adapter into a Hapurs 9-in-1 3 Port Portable USB 3.0 Hub, USB3.0 High speed SD TF MMC card reader with Power Switch.
You'll have HDMI, 3 USB 3.0 ports, and an SD reader.
You can't daisy chain HDMI monitors.
Your options are to see if your laptop manufacturer has a first party docking station that has 3 outputs, or you could get a third party dock like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Universal-Docking-Station-Ethernet/dp/B00ECDM78E
The last option would be to get a couple of USB Video cards like these: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-USB-HDMI-Adapter-External/dp/B00H91BQ7Y/
Good luck.
Oops, I just checked our projector. its pure USB that gives the bad frame rates so you may be just fine with HDMI to USB adapter.
Anywho, that cable does not pass video. You need an adapter for that, not a cable. Read the cable description again:
>NOTE: Only support can provide charging, cannot pass the video data!
This is just an example of what you are looking for: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-USB-HDMI-Adapter-External/dp/B00H91BQ7Y/ref=sr_1_12?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486416319&sr=1-12&keywords=usb+to+hdmi
Does your desktop not have multiple outputs on it?
would be very expensive to get dual monitor via just the TB1 to TB2 port that you might have. Get a TB to HDMI adapter(should be cheap)
Then use this for the second display
StarTech.com USB 3.0 to HDMI Display Adapter - 1080p (1900x1200) - Windows Only - Dual/ Multi-Monitor Video Converter w/ External Graphics Card (USB32HDES) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H91BQ7Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_4sYIDbFP6VTMG
If you can deal with a smaller form factor, the Gigabyte P34Wv5 would be the way to go if you want to keep the machine professional looking. You can also get much better battery life out of these smaller machines. It's still 14", so it's not a huge loss, just 1.6" of display size difference.
However, I don't think you'd want to have multiple displays all the same size as the laptop's. I like to connect mine to externals. You could get two of these, then put the laptop off to the side. or get 3 and connect one via USB. It has VGA, HDMI, and multiple USB ports, so you have a lot of options there.
If you are using a splitter you have only one HDMI connection and can have only one display on it. You can have two screens but since they are one signal split into two they'll show the same thing. If you have another display port in your laptop (hdmi/dvi/vga) you can plug that into the second monitor.
If your laptop has USB C you can get a graphics adapter like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Multiport-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B01C316EIK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483866212&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+c+video
That'll let you use the second monitor.
Edit: My bad, I didn't see that there were regular USB 3.0 HDMI adapters: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H91BQ7Y?psc=1
Yeah sorry i didn't post a link. This one will work great for either of those laptops.

I looked for some docking stations but they don't really make modern ones as much. They're normally built for a specific model but i guess these took over the market instead because of how universal they are.
You're talking about something like this, right?

It should work. I set a USB to VGA up for someone on their laptop ages ago and it worked surprisingly well.
That said, if this is a desktop you're probably better off putting in a video card. These things are mostly meant for laptops that don't have that option.
Many laptops will only support 2 displays due to GPU limitations. A dock may be your best option, but a USB to video adapter might work as well.

Everything that's needed is built in to it. You usually have to install the drivers first then connect it and away you go. Here's an example of one I've used a few times.
Yea, both Zoom and Meet have in-app pickers for which devices to use. It's very easy.
No HDMI usually, I just use the laptop's screen. You can find USB to HDMI adapters that you can plug into the hub, there are also USB mini docks that do this kind of thing. Also class compliant.
For example, both of my laptops are USB-C, so I have a mini USB-C dock with all my VC stuff plugged into it.
For screen sharing, I just use the built in sharing that Zoom and Meet provide. No need to get complicated and try and do HDMI capture.
USB "graphics cards" with audio support is your best option as HDMI soundcards sadly is not a thing.
I currently have this one and it supports 5.1 audio.
If you just need stereo, the slim adapter is a cheaper alternative.
Doesn't work like that. The only protocol that is capable of daisy-chaining is DisplayPort, and that's only supported on extremely high end monitors, and even then everything has to be DP, you can't mix in other standards, especially not VGA. VGA is honestly completely dead on basically all current products.
If you only have the 1 HDMI output, you'll need to pick up a USB video adapter like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H91BQ7Y/
Those USB adapters like that are really low power, so you'll really only be able to do some basic office work and video playback on the monitor using it.
