You mean that you can take a hdmi cabel from your ps4 to your laptop hdmi outport?
If so, no.. that will not work..

 

[Bendik]

With an adapter but it costs a lot

no, it is still not possible

I dont think output to output works. That is what he is trying to say.

The HDMI port on your laptop is output only (same as the ones on a desktop motherboard or GPU) and do not function as input.
However, some older gaming laptops (Alienware IIRC) allowed you to switch between using it as output or input. If your laptop supports this then you can, but most likely it isn't one of those.

You can try using a capture card and using the capture software to 'live view' the capture. Input lag may be a problem and will depend on the capture card.
I know Xbox has streaming over the network (not sure if PS4 has this, but you did mention 'remote play' which I assume is the same feature), so you could setup a network between your laptop and console (using an ethernet cable or a hotspot - your laptop may or may not support hotspots) to do this.

As others have said, the HDMI on your laptop is output only. Your best bet is to purchase a cheap HDMI capture card, preferably one with very low latency. If not, just use your phone's hotspot or something and use Remote Play through there.
