I got a gaming computer hooked up to my regular monitor

I added my tv as a second monitor for gaming on my console

1. when I try to hook it up with rga cabels from my tv to pc - my computer wont show up on the tv screen
2. It does work with hdmi from tv to computer obv - but I want to keep my xbox one hooked up to my tv

what I'm asking is can I use my tv as a second monitor while having my xbox hooked up to the tv?

(confused lmk)

is there away to pull up your xbox one on the tv while having it as a monitor (for streaming purposes or should just go get another monitor)
