Close lid setting MBP M1 pro while using external display
I am using external displays with a 2021 MacBook Pro M1 pro, is it possible to change the settings so that I close the lid of the MacBook and only use the external display?

Hi there Penipawa,
We understand you'd like to connect your MacBook Pro to an external display and have the lid closed.
Take a look at this resource: Connect a display to your Mac
Specifically, check out the notes below:
"Connect your display
Connect your display to power, then connect your display to your Mac. Check the ports on your Mac to find out whether you need an adapter.
If you use an external keyboard and mouse with your Mac notebook, you can close the built-in display after you connect your external display. You might have to press a key or click your mouse to wake the external display.
If your external display doesn't turn on after you connect it to your Mac, connect your display while your Mac is off, then wake or turn on your Mac."
Regards.
