Can You Plug an Xbox into a Laptop?

Best Answer

Yes, you can plug your Xbox into a laptop using an HDMI cable, but only if your laptop has an HDMI input, which is pretty rare. Most laptops only have HDMI outputs.

You can't do it without special ports or software. HDMI on laptops is usually output-only.

I've done it by using an external video capture device. It’s not ideal but worked for my setup. Look into capture cards!

Totally! Use the Xbox app on Windows 10 to stream games from your Xbox to your laptop over your home network. Better than an HDMI cable, right?
