Connecting Laptop and a PS4 to a monitor with 1 HDMI connection

Hello,
So I have a simple monitor that only have 1 HDMI connection.
I tried connecting my PS4 (console) and my Laptop which is a Macbook Pro 2017 (USB-C connection) with an HDMI Splitter ( https://www.google.co.il/search?saf....gws-wiz-img.gLnG3vWhxUw#imgrc=E1cxSTYwevpv1M: ) and connected the mac with an adapter from USB-C to USB's and HDMI. I bought two versions of the HDMI Splitter and both didn't work well for me.
One of them recognized my monitor only after a lot of unplugging and plugging back.
And the other one only worked when the computer was on and connected to the splitter (which isn't ideal because I use my PS4 sometimes when I don't want my Macbook to be on and plugged.)

any suggestions please?
