Can I connect 2 monitors to my MacBook Pro M1?

Hi

I am already aware that macbook pro supports only one monitor but i have tried connecting an iPad using sidecar and it works.


So my question is i am planning to buy another monitor which supports airplay and going to connect the other one using hdmi so is it going to work with both the monitors?

It depends upon if you want to simply mirror your main display or if you want an independent display. also not all the hardware limitations.

Use external monitors with your Mac - https://support.apple.com/HT202351


"If you're using a Mac with Apple silicon, you can connect a single external display to your Mac using one of the Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports. Docks don't increase the number of displays you can connect as an extended desktop."


Something tells me if you have a M1 your adapter won't help or else I would have seen people post in in the dozens of topics like this I have seen.
