Hi, I was interested in purchasing the studio display for my office, as I don't have much space and I like the design of the screen, I would like to know if there is the possibility of powering the homepod mini through the usb-C of the studio display?

Could someone tell me if it is possible?

PS: I will be using a windows so I don't need it to work as a speaker, just power it separately.

I don't know if it's possible, has anyone tried it or could you test it if it works?

Thanks

No. The HomePod mini comes with a 9v/2.2a 20w PSU, and the USB-C ports on the ASD are 15w max, and not designed to handle the extra power.
I haven't seen this tried, so it 'might' possible work, but it would not be a good idea.
