How to turn one display off out of three

Including MacBook Pro, I have two external monitors.

I want to keep my pro lid On , to use touchID. But I do not want to keep the screen on for the MacBook.


Is there an option I can set the display on MacBook to be off and only use the external monitors ?


Thanks

MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.15

Hello mrShanks,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you'd like to turn off the screen of your Mac while connected to external monitors, but still have access to the Touch Bar. Check out the following information.


Currently, the way to use your external monitors while your MacBook Pro display is turned off is to use closed-display mode: Use your Mac notebook computer in closed-display mode with an external display.


If you'd like to leave feedback about this, you can use the following link: Product Feedback.


Take care.
