When i connect the laptop to the monitor, it makes me use the laptop mouse pad and keyboard in order to do everything. I dont know if its cause its connected in hdmi 1 and i have to switch the monitor to hdmi 1 in order to use the laptop as a second monitor. I am not able to use the mouse and kb i got connected on the monitor. It also changes my monitor screen to the laptop screen.

Then you need to choose a valid source in OBS Studio, to capture the input.

Can somehow detect only hdmi cable when its connected or mandatory have to buy that hdmi to usb spliter?

Check AMAZON.

[@kskroyaltech]

Make sure the HDMI male cable goes into the HDMI port of GPU on your PC. And then it has to be passed through the usb port of your laptop to be used as second monitor.

[@aayushshrestha7445]

I have a motherboard-damaged laptop. can I use it as a secondary monitor?

[@kskroyaltech]

NO the laptop has to be functional and is capable of running OBS Studio.

[@ronnymfho]

If you want to repurpose the LCD screen as secondary monitor, have a look here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH2ThYOAer2cd6s

[@shahriarrobbani4235]

WTF! Never thought it is possible in this way!

[@GamingBros73]

If I have a hdmi port already in my computer do I need the usb to hdmi?

[@kskroyaltech]

Let's say Monitor 1 is running windows 11, you want to use other laptop as secondary monitor. So, We are connecting monitor 1 with HDMI male and the other end of the HDMI male is plugged in to HDMI Female to USB connected to laptop.

*Just remember* To Use Laptop as a Secondary Monitor all it needs a USB port to capture the INPUT using OBS Studio from the source computer.

I tried miracast to extend my main laptop screen onto a spare laptop, but there seems to be some compatibility issues as there is constant flickering with a greenscreen shown on my laptop. Idk whats the issue any recommendations would be of great help. If i try using hdmi cable will this same issue occur??

would this work with a displayport to hdmi then the hdmi is inputted into the capture device?

[@desecration171]

This is a waste of money. You can just setup the desktop with VNC Viewer, TeamViewer, or just use Microsoft's RDP which is native. The only reason you wouldn't use the above is for some reason the keyboard stopped functioning (which you could still use the built-in Accessibility wizard for typing) or the laptop was completely dead but had a functional screen. In that case you may as well pull it apart and convert into an portable monitor. This configuration just has you buying extra parts for nothing and burning the same amount electricity as if you were running the laptop and a PC.

No bandwidth is a problem on those case I have wayy better results using a cable

[@baldediamsbal2351]

A tower should be connected by ethernet but mine isn't so I need all the bandwidth I can get and this is actually a decent solution

[@desecration171]

@@baldediamsbal2351 No, it's not. Running OBS still requires system resources. You're better off buying a low-cost wifi adapter that gets you the same/similar speeds as an ethernet cord. The cost of a newer wifi adapter is less than $7 USD. If you want to get better results then you should plug both the tower and laptop/secondary device by ethernet to a repeating router or switch. No matter what convoluted scenario you try to come up with I can still use standard networking practices that is the same cost or cheaper AND better than the solution in this video.
