I have a Mac Mini M1. I currently have 2 Apple Thunderbolt 27" monitors. Is there a way to hook up both monitors. They work fine on my Intel MacBook Pro thru daises chain . I know the current Mac mini doesn't support this feature. The thunderbolt displays do not work with HDMI. Is there another way to get both these apple displays working?
Got a tip for us?

That will not work. The apple Thunderbolt Display does not work off HDMI
I think you are out of luck. The M1 Mac mini only supports two monitors. One via HDMI which won’t work with Apple’s Thunderbolt Display and the other one through Thunderbolt USB-C which will work with the Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 adapter. You can get multiple displays on USB-C with a DisplayLink hub but I doubt that any support Thunderbolt 2 or 3.
Thank you for that bit of information. I wonder if its a GPU limitation or the use of the Thunderbolt ports.
There are only 2 monitors supported by the M1 display engine. Not really a GPU issue though I’m sure it is related since Apple designed both jointly.
I have a similar situation - 27" Thunderbolt + new Studio display setup question.
Since the new Studio display uses the native USB-C/TB port from the M1 Mini, is there an adapter that takes the HDMI port from the M1 Mini and converts to USB-C/TB ?
If there is, then I can use the Apple TB3/TB2 adapter to connect my 27" TB display simultaneously with the Studio display ?
Any flaws ?
