Unfortunately, you can't connect a PS4 directly to a laptop using HDMI because both have HDMI output ports. You'll need a capture card to make it work. Capture cards convert the HDMI output from the PS4 into a USB input for your laptop. Check out brands like Elgato for reliable options!

It's a bummer, but HDMI ports on laptops are output-only, just like on the PS4. You need a capture card to bridge the connection.

HDMI from the PS4 won't work on a laptop directly due to both being output ports. A capture card is your best bet to solve this problem.

Tried this myself! You need a capture card like Elgato. Connect the PS4 to the capture card and then the capture card to your laptop via USB. Boom, PS4 on your laptop screen!
