I'd heard there's enough to use 4 displays with the IT8 but I can't get the 2nd one detected. Main monitor is on HDMI port and I have a USBC to hdmi cable to go into a mini monitor. This mini pc is pretty new and Ive never hooked up a 2nd display this way via USB C so I think I am missing something.
Thanks for any assistance

It could be :
  1. The MINI IT8 does not support Hot-plugging if you're using a Type-C Hub, please make sure it's all connected before turning on the Mini IT8
  2. Please check your mini monitor compatibility, Mini IT8 doesn't matches all kinds of monitor.
  3. Check the USB-C to HDMI cable if it's still working fine.
  4. At each interface of the cable, make sure it's all tight connected to the Mini IT8
Please to have a try. Let us know if there's anything we could assist you with. ;)

Hey! Thank you for the help, I did manage to figure it out with the simplest of solutions and that was just an easy reboot. ?
Thought pc was off before plugging in but it had been in a sleep.
Anyways, good to know about hot- plugging, I can at least take that away from this.
Cheers!
