How to turn laptop as a monitor with HDMI cable USB-HDMI Capture 4K amzn.to/3F6lhSX HDMI Cable amzn.to/3YcXUzt Help me 600K Sub / netvn82 #netvn #hdmi #windows11
This tutorial is a lifesaver!!! Almost all of the other tutorials are teaching how to hook up a laptop to a monitor, not how to use the laptop as the sole monitor.
@@Midnight.Prophets TV fell over due to sudden movement landing and cracking inside film. And yes I do semi work as a monitor. It was a fairly small TV screen so it worked until I had enough money for a monitor.
Finally , after years searching to find device display to monitor HD instead of easycap which is displayed in low resolution , Thank you bro from Yemen
some people askin if they can connect directly a hdmi cable to the laptop which is my case too but as i searched the answer is no sadly ,it's not possible since the hdmi port on the laptop is hdmi port as "output" meanwhile it should be as an input port and thats why we should use the USB ( not totally sure tho , but thats it propably)
Bruh, I'm building my 2.5k PC right now. I have bought the Powerbox, and the CPU is the last thing I need for the PC to be usable. The GPU is too expensive, so I'll buy it in like 3 months and this vid helped me a lot because I got no money to spend on a monitor after the CPU and I alr have a laptop so thanks for this vid!
And for anyone wondering these are the specs. - The CPU is a 13700K - GPU is an Aorus 4070 Ti Master edition - 16 GB DDR5 Kingston Fury RGB - MSI Z790 P WiFi Pro - CPU Cooler NZXT Kraken Z53 - NZXT H7 Flow - Powerbox Seasonic GC12
Your CPU is too strong for the GPU meaning you have a bottleneck. Also get 32gb of RAM its optimal for gaming. And your cooler is too expensive + there are way better options, NZXT just looks a little cooler.@@UNDONE-916
I knew how to do this but I couldn't figure out an alternative to the Windows 11 Camera app for viewing my PC's output, I never knew that OBS trick! THANK YOU!
Thanks, bro for your useful video. I've been thinking and searching a few times about how to use my laptop as a monitor, but I couldn't find any answers. thank you so much..🙏🙏🙏
A similar way to do this without needing an adapter is to use Steam remote play. The trick is to stream the right program/game that you can minimize and then access the entire computer instead of just the game. The only problem is you need to have a display on the host computer so you can run Steam and set it up.

Hi Thanks for clear and concise video. I tried the setup, works fine. One issue though: seems that laptop is constantly refreshing, so how to avoid that?
@@bhuvaneshwaranm5798 There is input lag in my experience, but I think it's mostly depend on what capture card you're using and maybe your laptop spec. Mine just the cheapest one in the market and a 6 years old laptop (asus 144 whatever, forgot it, the sticker is teared) getting around 50-100ms input lag, it's not much but very noticeable to me.
Thanks, I was wondering if this will actually work without a "main" pc monitor. now that you showed that it works, I can finally decide to save a little more money for a better monitor 😃
Thank you so much, I was wonder if I could use a gaming PC on my laptop so when I get it I can use it on a computer and I don't have to spend money on a monitor
@@CookedChicken1 You need a HDMI input port and you most likely have a HDMI output port. 99% of the laptops with a HDMI port have a HDMI output not an input. If you have a HDMI input, than it will work better that a HDMI input to USB converter.
How about a video showing how to use the laptop's keyboard/mouse to control the other PC instead of plugging in an external keyboard/mouse. Thanks for you great content!
You could probably buy a cheap USB KVM switch, this way it's easier to switch between the laptop and Tower M&K. It would be better for gaming too so you could use a wireless keyboard and mouse if you preferred.
@@gabr1elangelas461 Theoretically yes. I have done it before but you still need that OBS software and the Videocapture/USB to HDMI devide. Although there are some games that makes it lag at times but you can tinker a bit on the framerate settings. My son is using his PS4 and hooked it up on his laptop playing Genshin Impact. He can play Genshin on Laptopn but it was so slow so we hooked up his PS4 to it and played that way. I am honestly hoping that there will be a "plug and play" device that can do this in the future without having to rely on OBS software.
@@gabr1elangelas461 I play my ps4 on my laptop monitor all the time. This ain't too tough to do. You need a good HDMI capture card, a HDMI cable to make the connection. Then use the OBS software as shown in this video. Mostly no lag.
you can also go to settings - display then click mirror screen duplicate will not work click screen 2 would be the desktop this will take less ram and battery
I guess I'll see how modern games look on 720p screen lol edit: used the same hdmi to usb device as in video. latency - a minute internet for some reason was beyond horrible while the resolution is 766p, it looked like 240p without exaggeration (everything was set correctly) f* that
Hello. Does it mean that it can not directly receive from HDMI if you have a HDMI port? As in it a must to have the HDMI to USB even if you have a HDMI port on your PC.
*Attention! Delay and quality of the video is terrible! Don't buy this device!!!* UPD: Maybe need expensive devices for $200 dollars, I don't know, but same device as on video for $30 is terrible
Can i use this method for a new pc? If i get a pc that doesn't have windows installed in it can i use this method to also intall windows in it please reply...
if somehow you find a way to send all keystrokes to host os and disable laptop os reaction to them at the same time, you can basically use the host pc while being at the laptop
You can use Steam remote play for that without needing an adapter and even be able to access the host computer wirelessly anywhere you have a decent internet connection. The trick is to stream the right program/game that you can minimize and then access the entire computer instead of just the game.
If anyone has this problem, change “project style” to duplicate. Press window key plus p and choose duplicate. Thanks to this guy for straightforward video with good resolution

Totally didn't just break my TV and so now need this tutorial.
Thanks a lot you saved me lots of effort until new monitor arrives
Does it really work ?
@@mohamedrafik2237 yes and no. Depends on what screen and connector you have. It worked for me for a bit then stopped
How’d you break your tv? Can TV’s handle being a monitor?
@@Midnight.Prophets TV fell over due to sudden movement landing and cracking inside film. And yes I do semi work as a monitor. It was a fairly small TV screen so it worked until I had enough money for a monitor.
it's really useful when your monitor got problem

It's very true

Your videos are great can you make a video on setting up a private cloud storage server without a static IP that is by using dynamic ip
Ill test this with my Nintendo switch, thank you
Gracias. Lo resumistes bien.
Y funciona? Estoy confundido

Your video's really good 👍 please keep it up 👍

will usb-c to HDMI work same?
Thank you for this tutorial
Omg this was so helpfull
thanks a lot bro 👍👍

Mano me ajuda
Thank you so much, I was wonder if I could use a gaming PC on my laptop so when I get it I can use it on a computer and I don't have to spend money on a monitor
It would be helpfull if we could use laptop mouse and keyboard
Can we use this method to connect directly without usb dongle?
Your laptop would need a HDMI input port.
@@AKaptijn94 my laptop has hmdi port, will it be going just the same like in the video or better, because it doesnt use any "converter" thing.

i do this all the time with a 4 g ram and it runs nice
you can know wirlesssless connect yet wirles connections run not as good less good wifi you haveor in general not as good
What if it is direct hdmi
there is a problem that the usb doesn't show on the camera section in device manager
U r the boss ❤️❤️

can i connect hdmi from pc directly to laptop's hdmi socket?
No cause both ports are just for output.
Hello. Does it mean that it can not directly receive from HDMI if you have a HDMI port? As in it a must to have the HDMI to USB even if you have a HDMI port on your PC.
Laptops are only capable of sending a output so yes you still need the USB device thing

Or just buy a monitor they're cheaper
Very useful when you spend all buget on pc build , not enough to buy monitor
Can i use this method for a new pc? If i get a pc that doesn't have windows installed in it can i use this method to also intall windows in it please reply...
yeah you can, but you must plug the usb windows installer media to the desktop, not to the laptop becouse the laptop only shows the screen
@@batuemirseven what about disconnecting?
if we directly use HDMI will it show problem
My mom took my monitor cause I was playing games too much so I found this🎉❤😂, tysm
Do you need the hdmi to usb converter? Can you not just plug the hdmi cable into the hdmi slot of the laptop?
Is there any input lag when you’re playing competitive games?
not too much input lag works quite good
Thanks Dude😊
Welcome 😊
Hi , can i use dvi port that plug to HDMI adapter then plug HDMI adapter to HDMI video capture ? can it work ?
is it good for gaming? input lag or crashes incompatibility etc?

Useful video ❤️
Glad you think so!
Can i connect my Mac mini with this trick ?
Do you absolutely need a hdmi to usb or can you do hdmi to hdmi if your laptop already had one?
I am also looking for an answer to this one
Hdmi is a output port so you should need a hdmi to usb
Gonna use this in my college dorm to save space
i’m gonna do this on road trips with my xbox
Thanks! The laptop keyboard will also work?
My laptop has a HDMI port, so if i connect into it, do i get an output from the pc?
need answer too
It actually works for me, but for some reason in obs i have about 30 fps and bad quality of resolution. How can i fix that?
Test gaming please
the last 1:10 part dosent work. i power on the mini pc box and it dosnt work i have only the colorfull pallets. Help someone
Can i use it for playstation?
Is it possible to use the notebook as a monitor without this HDMI converter?
Not from a jedi
yes with Steam remote play or TeamViewer you can do it through your internet connection
Thanks
А обязательно ли подключить через адаптер ?
Обязательно
I have all kinds of HDMI cable
Except this.
the latency amaze
Useful for when u fucked up your monitor over a game 😂
it's very useful bro! and it's work but after a few hours i got rainbow screen on OBS, i need help
Do you need a keyboard, or is it possible with a laptop?
can i do this with vga cable and i have vga port on my laptop and how to switch web cam to vga
Bro i don’t get the camera option in device manager. please reply fast
Thanks ❤❤
You're welcome 😊
sir, in my laptop i have HDMI port shall i use hdmi to hdmi cable for this
I think you can
very good idea
Thanks for liking
does this only work when using a HDMI to USB Converter? can't use HDMI cable directly from cpu to laptop?
can't seem bro
seems no. your laptop able only output, not input
tenho uma dúvida, tem algum tipo de delei ou da para jogar usando um console?
Mine only captures the desktop not the activity
If anyone has this problem, change “project style” to duplicate. Press window key plus p and choose duplicate. Thanks to this guy for straightforward video with good resolution
Does this performs pc performance in our laptop??
It depends on what you’re “broadcasting”. The laptop will deliver the same video quality it was designed for.
one more question
I think it is quite impossible
it is possible to use laptop keyboard+monitor, so we can save some money for buying keyboard
This is called outside the box thinking
its just 30fps if are the usb 2.0 if is it 3.0 its going into 60 fps
my question is, is it worth it, or i should get a new display?
can use hdmi without capture usb
Hello, does your desktop need a GPU or an integrated graphic card in order to make this work ? Please 🙏
Well, let me ask you something, can we change it back to its previous state?
