External monitors

I am wondering if it is possible to connect 2 separate monitors to my 2020 M1 MacBook Air, and to be able to run these monitors as extensions of my Mac. Or can my Mac only handle one external monitor at a time

Hi keelan243,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! As noted in the following guide:


Connect one or more external displays with your Mac


* For Mac computers with the Apple M1 Chip: You can connect a single external display to your Mac. Docks don’t increase the number of displays you can connect. On a Mac mini with M1 chip, you can connect a second display to the HDMI port. See the Apple Support article Mac computers with Apple silicon.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day.
