Port Mirror without losing network access

Up until now, I have been plugging my laptop in and outputting the mirrored port to the interface the laptop is connected to on the switch. Since we have started working remotely, there have been a few times where I need to port mirror from several switches away. So laptop > PC in office > office switch > access switch > core. I need to capture traffic from a port on the core. Is there any way to do this without killing the remote connectivity. Do I need another device to output to? How does that device retain connectivity?
