Use laptop screen as viewfinder for WB800F?

Hi! I just bought a Samsung WB800F. It has remote viewfinder but just for pictures. The thing is i really want to see myself while filming videos so i can check that i'm in the frame. I have a Macbook and i've looked for this everywhere and nothing.

I would have thought you would need an Android device or possibly an iPhone maybe for remote viewfinder.

If your camera has a HDMI out, perhaps you could connect that to a monitor?
