Two Thunderbolt Displays + M1 MacBook Air 2020 = Possible?

While I know that the new MacBook Air can only support 1 external monitor and it needs an adapter to work with the discontinued Thunderbolt display, is it also possible to use the DisplayLink adapter that enables you to have two monitors?

That is, can you have two Thunderbolt Displays with an M1 MacBook Air?

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

will the macbook pro and macbook air with m1 chips support 2 external monitors natively without any Displaylink device in the future? will the macbook pro and macbook air with m1 chips support 2 external monitors natively without any Displaylink device in the future? I ready don't want to purchase any expensive DisplayLink Device to achieve that. Will any software update fix this problem or is it hardware dependent? Thanks in advance.

Mac Mini M1 plus two monitors Hello, I currently have a Mac Mini M1 connected to a 2012 Apple Thunderbolt display via an Apple Thunderbolt 2 to 3 adapter. I'm interested in purchasing one of the new Studio Displays but this Mac Mini only allows for two monitors via HDMI and the Thunderbolt port. Can I use a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter on my older 2012 display to accommodate this?

Macbook Air 2020 M1 connected to dual Apple 27" Thunderbolt Displays? Hi Work has recently given me a new 2020 Macbook Air M1, which is awesome. I've since learned this Macbook only supports one external display. I've read and watched many tutorials on connecting additional displays using DisplayLink hubs, so have purchased the Dell D6000, but still cannot get both Thunderbolt Displays to work. Has anyone had any success connectting two Apple 27" Thunderbolt Displays to their Macbook Air M1? If so, how??? Thank you
