Virtual Monitor

I'm not sure if this is possible, but I wanted to ask you all. I'd like to know if I can input video and audio from something like a PS4 into my computer and run it into a window on my computer. Any ideas?

Get a capture device, a capture program, and go to town. :3

 

Or you can try the PS4 streaming app.

Just curious, what would be the motivation to do something like that?

@Wolther I'm trying to do that so I can share audio between my computer and console for discord/music, and be able to swap between the console/computer easily without having to change inputs.

what inputs do you have on your monitor? If you're have HDMI x2 then just connect your sound system to the headphone socket then just switch inputs on the monitor.

 

I can see using a capture card causing input lag.

@vorticalbox How would I combine the audio then?

Gamer oriented capture devices are good at minimizing lag so it's not bad, if you can even perceive it.

You can't. If you wanted to combine audio streams, you would need a capture device or use the PS4 streaming app.
