Airplay to 2 external monitors

Hi,


I am contemplating using two external monitors to use with my 2017 13” MBP. My goal would be to have the laptop closed, and have the two screens working as one “extended” display - I.e. I do not want both to simply mirror what is on the built-in display. Is this possible?


Many thanks.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6
