Many people worldwide are thrilled about games, and it’s not a surprise that the number of games, gaming TVs, and gadgets keeps increasing daily.
Gaming consoles aren’t left out. What makes gaming consoles interesting is that they allow players worldwide to play the latest games from the comfort of their homes and at their convenience.
Nowadays, most games are developed for smartphone usage; hence, a higher percentage of world gamers prefer to play their favorite games on a larger screen.
Most gaming consoles are often connected to flat screen or widescreen TVs. But not everyone can afford one or even have enough room for a TV in their place. As a result, gaming consoles such as the Xbox can now be connected to laptops and PCs for a top-notch gaming experience.
This blog post will teach you the easiest way to connect Xbox to your laptop using an HDMI connection.
Note that if you want to connect Xbox to your laptop, your laptop must have an HDMI input/port. The problem with many laptops is that they have an HDMI connection, but it is usually an HDMI output, not input.
This means that your laptop can only transmit an image to an external monitor or TV via the HDMI output, but no image signal can be transmitted from the outside to the laptop screen. So, HDMI input is required for this purpose.
So, let’s get started.
How to connect Xbox to laptop with HDMI
Connecting your Xbox to your laptop is very easy; follow these simple steps:
• Check and ensure that your laptop has an HDMI input/port.
• Close all the games running on the Xbox and turn it off.
• Check and be sure your HDMI cable is working perfectly.
• Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI port of the Xbox. The HDMI port of the Xbox is located at the back of the Xbox.
• Plug the other end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI port of your laptop. Probably your laptop does not have an HDMI port; you don’t have to worry. You can always use an HDMI adapter for connection.
• Once the two devices are connected, turn on the Xbox console.
• Wait for some moments until the console notifies that the two devices are successfully connected.
If you do not get a notification, you can then go to the main menu of your laptop and select the settings option. From the settings, select “Display Settings” and set the settings according to what you want.
