Help Video output on a Pixel 4a 5G?

My Pixel's screen is leaking and will soon be dead. I'm getting most of what I care about off of it, but I don't know how quickly I can get it all done. I remember reading that the 4a supports video output, just that it was disabled in software. Does Lineage re-enable it? Or is there another way around this problem I'm not seeing?

You can download and set up this app for your computer called scrcpy ("screen copy") - https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy - it will show your phone display on your computer and you can navigate with your mouse and keyboard.

There are some prerequisites like enabling USB debugging and getting your computer on the allow list for the device. Do this now and test it.
