Daisy-chaining monitors over display port (MST) 2020 16" MBP

Hi there!

I have a 2020 16" MBP that I'm using with two external monitors. The machine is great, but when I'm on the OSX side I can't get my second monitor to work. Under windows bootcamp (same machine), it's working great without any glitches.

I know there was a problem with OSX and daisy chaining when I got the machine, but figured it would be resolved at some point since it's just a software issue. Does anyone know how to get this working, or when it will work?

The "just works" ball is currently on the windows side, but I'd prefer to bring it back to Apple if possible.

Thanks for any info or help!

The Mac has never supported daisy-chaining large displays.

You can put each display on its own ThunderBolt port if you want them to work.
