Connecting two external monitors to Macbook Air M1

Hello all,


I just got a Macbook Air M1 from my company, and have 2 external monitors (HP) from my previous laptop. I am able to connect one, using HDMI to a USB-C cable, but I am not able to connect another monitor, and the laptop does not recognize it.


What can I do to be able to run two external monitors at the same time?


Thanks!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6
