External monitor is connected via HDMI to MacBook Air. If I close the MacBook, the monitor does not work. How can I work with MacBook closed and use the monitor?

Connect an external keyboard, mouse, power adapter, and external monitor to your Mac

Close the lid

Use the external keyboard and the external display should work.
