Need my Dell Inspiron 1764 to act as a tv.

Question

So I wanted to use my Dell Inspiron 1764 as a monitor/tv for my Xbox. The HDMI is supposed to show the computer on the tv, but I want to reverse it to display the Xbox on the Inspiron. If I can do so, I'd like to find out how on the keyboard to swap the HDMI input stuff whatever. Thanks!

Can't be done.

@kartoffel  The HDMI output is only an output, and can't be set up to act as an input.  But for the Xbox, you can get the Xbox Console Companion app and stream your Xbox to your PC over your network.  You can even pair your Xbox controller directly to your PC to control it that way if you're not in range of your actual Xbox.
