How to use a laptop as a monitor

It’s important to note that you may not need a USB-C to USB-C cable to connect your two laptops together. Step one and two revolves around using USB-C cables, however, you can also connect the laptops via Bluetooth by going into Settings. You can also click the Windows and P button at the same time to extend your display, or use an HDMI cable instead. Some laptops will have different ways of connecting, so we recommend testing out which method works best for you.
Once you have connected the two laptops, via USB-C or otherwise, you can follow along from Step Three and onwards.

Once you have connected the USB-C cable to the first laptop, do the same with the second laptop.

Click on the Windows key on the keyboard of the primary laptop.

Type the word Display into the Windows search bar.

Out of all the options available, click on the button that says Duplicate or extend to a connected display. If this option does not appear for you, you can click on the general Display settings and find this option there.

Once you are in the Display settings you should see a large blue box, that shows that your displays are connected. If your screen does not show that your display is connected, you may need to go back to Steps One and Two and ensure that your connection is working for your laptops.
If they are, click on the button that says Duplicate these displays. Is it a grey box and is on the far right-hand side under the large blue box.

Out of the options presented from the drop-down menu, click on the option that says Extend these displays.

Once clicked your screen may go black for a second. Once it returns there will be a pop-up message. Click on the option that says Keep changes to keep the screens extended.
