Brad LinderThe Pixel 8 might be able to support video output over the USB-C port... if you root the phone and unlock the ability, because it seems to be disabled in software. That's still better than earlier Pixel phones, which didn't have the hardware for it. https://androiddev.social/@MishaalRahman/111179652958253099 #Pixel8 #Google #DisplayPortAltMode

Attached: 1 image Since I'm not gonna have my own Pixel 8 for a while, I might as well put this out there so someone else can test it ASAP: You might be able to enable DisplayPort Alternate Mode (ie. display output over USB-C) if you root the device. That's because it seems to be disabled at a software, not hardware, level unlike previous Pixels. You can see here from a dump of husky (code-name for the Pixel 8 Pro) that the property persist.vendor.usb.displayport.enabled is set to 0.
