connecting external monitor to MacBook Air

I have a 2022 m2 MacBook Air to which I am trying to connect external monitor. The monitor is connected by HDMI cable to a USB adapter, which is connected to a j5create USB-C adapter that is then connected to the MacBook. However, the computer is not detecting monitor. What am I doing wrong? Is the j5create adapter not compatible with the Mac air?

MacBook Air, macOS 13.1

If you want to connect a monitor it is best not to use adapters. Connect the monitor with an USB C to HDMI cable instead. Adapters most of the times don't have enough power to send the display signal
