The latest Macbook Pro 2021 supports dual monitors. I've got two Huawei monitors connected to a Dell D6000 dock and they both work as expected when I connect my Windows laptop to the dock.

How can I get the dock and the dual monitors to work with my Macbook?

I've installed DisplayLink Manager Graphics Connectivity BETA however only one of the two monitors is displaying and the other one is just blank.

Update: Looks like its an issue with the beta as installing the older version works!

Personally I would not use a displaylink dock. The 2021 MACs handle multiple displays natively. Get a thunderbolt dock and get rid of the extra dependencies. That way you do not need to worry (typically) about MACOS upgrades breaking the displaylink driver or the driver not being updated in time.

Also, with the monitors connected and I turn off/reboot my MBP, the monitors aren't automatically on and I have to disconnect and reconnect the cable.
