Problem with external displays

Hello.


I bought a new MacBook pro M1 and when I tried to connect two external displays it doesn't work. I have CalDigit Thunderbolt 3 mini dock.

Are there any options to connect two external displays?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

The M1 does not support 2 external displays—


Machine specs for video Support say one external monitor is supported—M1 MacBookPro 13”

'There is only one available hardware rasterizer display generator in the M1 Macs 2020

You can not create a second hardware accelerated display.

You can create a simulated display with Display Link hardware & software, but this is not a full motion video display.'
