I have a Raspberry Pi 3b+. When I hook it up to my TV, which has HDMI input, it automatically boots up the pi and show the raspbian window. Although, when I connect it to my Laptop via HDMI there is no change in the display. So why does this happen and is there any way to get over this?

4Your laptop DOES NOT have HDMI input, it's an output device. You can't connect an output to another output and expect it to work.– DougieDec 26, 2020 at 20:19

Most laptop hdmi ports are output not input. They are designed to connect a laptop to a monitor.
There are a few that have hdmi input.
You could use VNC Viewer on your laptop to view the Pi screen (by enabling VNC in Pi Configuration) over wifi/network.
