I have two thunderbolt displays and need to connect to Mac mini. Bought 2 thunderbolt 2 to thunderbolt 3 adaptors to connect displays to new mini but only one works at a time. I used to chain one display to the other and then connect to old mac mini and could use two displays but now that doesn't work. Can't find an adaptor to connect thunderbolt display to HDMI2 port on new mac mini. HELP!
Mac mini, macOS 10.14
The Inel Mac mini (2018) will run two Thunderbolt displays. They can be daisy-chained.

Thank you. Then is there an adaptor available for the Thunderbolt 2 to HDMI2 port?
Otherwise, I will send my mac mini M1 back to Apple. I need to use two displays for my work and prefer the Apple displays. The M1 is useless to me without the two displays. It's too bad.
Looks like Apple is going to get a return of an M1 mac mini. I wouldn't have ordered it if I would have known. I need two displays and already have Thunderbolt displays. I can't afford to buy new displays. I wish this would have been more apparent in the advertising (no chaining of displays, etc). I really appreciate the replies to my question!
There is no way to run two Thunderbolt displays on a M1 Mac mini. There are no adapters from HDMI to Thunderbolt display.
Chaining isn’t supported on the M1s, neither are dual displays without one on HDMI. Sorry!
M1 or Intel, Apple’s claim of multiple monitor support is incomplete/imperfect/misleading, agreed. Return it pronto, don’t see anything but more seasons to this soap opera...
So the other new Mac mini - intel - also doesn't support chaining either (two thunderbolt displays)?
