Monitors that work with MacBook Pro, Dell, and Surface Pro?
I've had the worst trouble trying to find a video conferencing monitor and a standard monitor that will daisy chain and work with a MacBook Pro, Dell Laptop and a Surface Pro laptop. Previously advised by Dell to use Dell S2422HZ and Dell P2422H monitors with a WD19S docking station. The monitors didn't have daisy chain capability. The monitors had issues with the MacBook Pro and wouldn't even work at all with the docking station. I could only use one monitor with the Surface Pro. Ideally would like dual monitors (one video conferencing) that daisy chain so there is only one USB-C connection into the devices. Would really appreciate the advice as I've tried extensively with representatives from Dell, Apple and Belkin already.

Let's start with the first problem. Does any macOS support dual monitor daisy chain? As you can see from the links below, lots of discussion.
does Apple support daisy chaining displays

Apologies for the bad advice from Dell. They did not check the monitors User's Guides.
Neither the S2422HZ nor the P2422H have the necessary DP out port for DP MST daisy chain.
Neither the S series nor the P series of Dell monitors have Apple support from Dell.
This Pinned post, "Dell monitor, Apple FAQ" shows the Dell monitors in green that have limited macOS support through Dell. But that is only one monitor connected to the Apple PC. Daisy chaining in macOS is out of scope for Dell. Daisy chaining in Windows OS is in scope for Dell.
From that list you have to explore the monitors User's Guides to be sure that that the first monitor in the DP MST daisy chain has the necessary DP out port. The second monitor must have a DP in port.
The conference series C2422HE has the required USB-C/DP in port and the DP out port. The second monitor must have a DP in port. So we know that the DP MST daisy chain will work in Windows. But again, not sure if the macOS will do it.
