If you're trying to capture the output of your gaming pc on your laptop, then use NDI (needs gigabit ethernet).
If you're trying to capture the output of your laptop on your gaming pc then connect it your capture card with a HDMI cable (assuming it has HDMI out) and add card as video capture device in OBS.

I’ve tried ndi and i get it to work i just can’t get the audio right ... so maybe i will mess with that more ... appreciate the response

is there anyway to feed this laptop without ndi? Just curious

If your gaming pc has HDMI out (with audio), you can get a USB HDMI capture device for your laptop. You may need a HDMI duplicator if your monitor is connected to a single HDMI port.

Thanks for the reply! Any suggestions on what usb capture device? Will the elgato cam link work?

I recently got a PC from my dad's office and I don't have any monitor, I am trying to use the capture card and the HDMI cable to get its display on streamlabs. All I get is a black screen, I donno what to do.
