Unfortuntely no, you can't. Both of them have HDMI out and connecting 2 HDMI out ports together won't go to anywhere.  This won't work and may damage both.

Hello @Aneekwagree


Ports can't be changed between output / input.

Your only 2 solutions would be to use remote play:

or to get a video capture hardand disable HDCP on your PS4:

You can use the PS4's Remote Play feature to connect the PS4 to your laptop https://remoteplay.dl.playstation.net/remoteplay/, but the process is a bit cumbersome.

 

There is another relatively simple method, which is to use an HDMI to USB C video capture dongle like https://nerdtechy.com/cloneralliance-chert-4kc-review, you can play all console games with HDMI output directly with no additional settings, plug and play.
