3 External Monitors on MacBook Pro 13in

Hello,

I am new to the Mac world. I just transitioned from a Dell to MacBook Pro 13" as my new work provided computer.

I have 3 external montiors and am used to working with them. I prefer to keep the laptop closed.

Is it possible to use all 3 monitors? I can only get 2 working at a time whether through my OWC dock or plugging the monitors straight into the computer.

Computer Specs:

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports)

Processor 2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5

Graphics Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MB

Thanks for any tips!

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

No. The 13" MacBook Pro only supports a maximum of 2 external displays. Link-> MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports) - Technical Specifications

Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display at millions of colors and:

One external 6K display with 6016-by-3384 resolution at 60Hz at over a billion colors, or
One external 5K display with 5120-by-2880 resolution at 60Hz at over a billion colors, or
Up to two external 4K displays with 4096-by-2304 resolution at 60Hz at millions of colors

You paid dearly for the high-quality built-in display. consider using the Built-in as one of your displays.

It can be placed in any direction from the others -- above, below, left or right and arrangement is completely changeable by you:
