Question Display a VGA source via USB ?

[sponge_b0b]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking an easy way to import/display the feed of another machine (VGA output) to my laptop.

What would be an easy way to handle the VGA signal into the laptop ?
Does a VGA to USB converter exist becausethe opposite way round, USB to VGA, there are plenty ?

Thanks

Well, VGA is analog video signal and USB uses digital signal. So, you need a converter for such a task.

Did find one such converter,
amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Multi-Display-Converter-Projector-Chromebook/dp/B07RTB9W14

However, do note that it requires driver to be installed and based on amazon feedback, it either works fine, has issues or doesn't work at all. So, i can't confirm how well it works for you.

Remote desktop from laptop to the other machine (if that's a windows pc).

I don't think, you understood, what OP wants.

There's a device (probably a pc) with VGA output and
he wants to see that video feed on laptop.

USB to VGA adapter just allows connecting another monitor to the laptop.

Then VGA video capture card is, what you need there.

Something like this with a converter chip is what you need.

How is that thing going to do anything?
Laptops do not usually have any HDMI inputs. You can not feed HDMI signal into the laptop.

I'll 2nd that.

PCs do not have video input ports. What they have, are output ports only. For input port, capture card (internal or external) is needed.
