MBA M2 & Two Displays Using USB-C Multiport Adapter?

[Velin]

Will the new MBA M2 support running both the laptop display as well as an external display in extended display mode, while using the USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter?

Don't see why not, that's what a lot of M1 users have been doing. It's only 1 external monitor.

It should work as the Mac sees it has 1 display still.

There are some work arounds though:

They might not be a 100% ideal/perfect solution, but M1 (and M2) Macs can actually handle multiple monitors

I have tried it and it does not work. If I use USB-C to HDMI nothing happens at all. If I use HDMI to HDMI the external screen works for about 5 secs then turns off, then radomly turns on for 5 secs every now and then.

The same Multi-port adapter works on my MBP and IPP.
