Driving three external monitors in lid-closed mode with my MacBook Pro 13"

I have been told that this is possible by chat support. Can you tell me how to set this up? I have two monitors with 1920X1200 resolution and one monitor at 1920X1100. Just plugging them in with the lid closed does NOT do the job. Only two monitors at a time work.

Thanks for the reference. Unfortunately, this does not allow three monitors. Only two are recognized. I have an external keyboard and mouse. The three monitors are each connected to a usb-c port. One of them via a dongle that adds HDMI and USB.
