I doubt it. You will probably need a splitter and a capture card since your laptop won't have HDMI in.

I edit my posts a lot.

It doesn't.

And what Linus did was use a dedicated device (capture card) that basically takes the HDMI input and using a program you can see the display (and record it) on another device (his laptop, in this example).

A capture card will also have an HDMI out, which made it so his monitor also had a picture.
