Connecting external PCs and related devices
You can display content from your devices to Surface Hub 2S. If the source device is Windows-
based, that device can also provide TouchBack and InkBack, which takes video and audio from
the connected device and presents them on Surface Hub 2S. If Surface Hub 2S encounters a
High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) signal, the source will be displayed as a black
image. To display your content without violating HDCP requirements, use the keypad of Surface
Hub 2S to directly choose the external source via a wired connection such as USB-C or HDMI.
NOTE: Surface Hub-2S will use the video input that you select until a new connection is made, the existing
connection is disrupted, or the Connect App is closed.

Recommended configurations for connecting to Surface Hub 2S

In general, it's recommended to use native connections whenever possible such as USB-C to
USB-C or HDMI to HDMI. Other combinations such as MiniDP to HDMI or MiniDP to USB-C
will also work.
