Hi - My company recently gave me a USB-C G5 hub.  I would love to be able to use it to hook up my work laptop and my home PC to the same monitor, however, both are old.  My work laptop has a USB-C cable so the hub hooks up to that.  But is this hub only designed to do one laptop to many monitors?  The most modern output for my PC is an HDMI cable, but that is currently being used to hookup from the hub to the monitor.  Thoughts?  Or am I out of luck?   (Note, I did not choose this product, it just showed up at my house one day

No, it is not a KVM switch, you have to pull the USB-C cable from one machine to other machine to be able to use the dock (one machine can own the dock and one time).
