Use a Laptop as a Monitor with HDMI

[@MoneySavvyAcademy]

By far the most clear and concise explanation of how to use your laptop as a displaying monitor (as Laptops generally don't come with an HDMI input port). Many thanks, and much appreciated

You are a life saver. Seen at least 4 videos and still couldn't fully understand, but this video clarified everything perfectly. MORE POWER TO YOU.

Is there any input lag? How noticeable? What influences more? The power of the laptop or the PC desktop?

[@stppy8464]

from my experience, there is a bit of input lag (50ms) but I think that just depends on what capture card you are using.

[@محمودبنعيسا]

Hello bro, thanks a lot for the great video. I'm having issue,the capture card is installed, the device manager shows msusb display. In obs software, in source, in videos capture device, I cannot find my device, it only shows my laptop camera option, is there a way to add manually? Or is there any other way?

[@safiullah2090]

hello you might have bought a simple hdmi to usb converter that requires driver but you should buy video capture card. it is plug and play and does not require any drivers at all.I know exactly what you are talking about because ispent almost 2 hours checking different converters in computer market but all of them showed MUSB and only thing they did was working as a regular hdmi out port. i've spent almost 1 month searching on how to play xbox video on laptop and i finally came to this video and it solved my problem now i can play xbox 360 on my laptop.SEARCH FOR VIDEO CAPTURE CARD ON GOOGLE AND FIND THE ONE THAT IS CABLE LESS[LOOKING LIKE PENDRIVE] AND IT WILL WORK GREAT AND THANKS TO TECHY DRUID

buy a converter from your pc which is maybe VGA or whatever it is, and to the other end hdmi. so you connect your cable to your hdmi converter and plug it in the pc with the other end VGA(or what your pc has )
