The actual answer to your question, to my knowledge, is that these are two sets of hardware running on software designed not only without the innate ability to talk to one another, but almost certainly with the aim of preventing them from talking to one another. In my (very limited) knowledge of metal and lightning, I imagine you'd need a custom-built box of metal and lightning with the vagina holes/penis cords required to plug into both your Nintenbox and Macbox, and then you'd need to know how to cast magic spells on the metal inside your custom box to get the Switch to treat the Macbook's screen like a non-proprietary TV screen. I can help you if you wanna pay for my entire compsci education required to know what the fuck I'm talking about and doing at all. Project ETA: 7 years.

You should be able to use everything as a screen for everything else. It's the fucking future, they should be able to figure out universal compatibility.

Like why can I cast videos on my phone over WIFI to my TV but I can't plug a USB-C/HDMI cord into the TV and screen project?
>>
>>108746131

>switch lite
they don't have video out, or they do but it's disabled, i don't know
either way they want you to buy the higher tier for this functionality

You're free to open source and build the solution yourself zoomie.
>>
>>108746131
Your Macbook does not have a video input (unless you buy a video capture dongle which will likely have high latency) and your Switch Lite does not have video output either.
>>
>>108746131
you can. you need to buy taki udon's switch lite upgrades with the hdmi out addon and an hdmi capture device for the mac.
>>
>>108749785
What are you talking about? You can definitely use HDMI for that. For example, connecting your PC with an external monitor/TV.

You cannot use USB-C for that though.
>>
>>108751959
There are 10GB-s USB-C cables nowadays
>>
>>108746131
because they didnt want you to be able to do this
what other answer were you expecting?
