If your HDMI port is only an HDMI out (which is most laptops) , then it won't work.

You'd need to check your specific laptop spec to see what kind of port you have

A laptop with a port like that? Probably, but I haven't looked myself

laptops are not designed to be moniters.

The way to do it is with a capture card but its not realy worth the hassle or cost. What you need is a moniter.
