Check whether your laptop supports video input; most laptops do not
If your laptop has an HDMI-in, USB-C video input, or a capture card setup, connect the source device to that input
If your laptop only has HDMI-out, use remote display software instead of direct monitor use
Install a remote desktop or screen-sharing app on both devices
Connect both devices to the same network or follow the app’s pairing steps
Enable screen sharing or remote display on the device you want to view
Open the app on your laptop and connect to the other device
Adjust display settings, resolution, and scaling as needed
Use a capture card if you want to view a console or another PC on your laptop
Connect the source device to the capture card, then connect the capture card to your laptop via USB
Open the capture software on your laptop to view the incoming video
If your laptop supports wireless display, enable Miracast, AirPlay, or similar features
Set the source device to extend, duplicate, or project to the laptop display if supported
Use a docking station or adapter only if it supports video input to the laptop
Check your laptop manual or manufacturer support page for input compatibility
If your laptop cannot accept video input, use an external monitor instead
