I recently bought an HDMI to USB-C adapter since my laptop’s USB-C port supports both input and output. When I connect the adapter to my laptop, it recognizes that there’s a connection, but I’m not sure how to display my PS5 on the laptop screen. I’m using a Lenovo Ideapad 1. Can anyone help me figure this out?

To display your PS5 on your laptop, you’ll need a capture card. The HDMI to USB-C adapter isn’t enough for gaming purposes. The laptop may see that something is plugged in, but it can’t process the PS5 signal directly.
Why do you want to do this anyway? Are you looking to capture gameplay or something? Just curious!
