I know laptops don’t have HDMI In ports but I was thinking I can buy an Elgato USB adapter or some HDMI capture card to act as a monitor with OBS.

I’ve seen videos of ppl recording gameplay using the capture card but is it possible to extend my laptop display as well with the adapter?

Right now I’m using the Windows wireless display feature and it works well but there’s still a bit too much latency and it times out whenever I alt+tab windows so I’d prefer a wired solution.

    I’m sure a capture card would add latency as well. I don’t know how much, I don’t use them. But looking at amazon, the cheapest Elgado capture card is over $100. You could get a 24inch, 75hz,1080p display for the same price.
