How to Connect Nintendo Switch to Chromebook

Ever wonder how you can link up your Nintendo Switch to a Chromebook? Let’s dive into that!

Connecting your Nintendo Switch to a Chromebook sounds like a fun idea, right? We’ll show you how it’s done.

Quick Guide: Connecting Your Nintendo Switch to a Chromebook

Sorry to break it to you, but directly connecting your Nintendo Switch to a Chromebook isn’t possible in the way many hope. The Nintendo Switch is designed primarily to connect to a TV or be used in handheld mode, not directly to computers or Chromebooks.

However, there’s a workaround if you’re looking to display your Switch’s gameplay on your Chromebook: capturing the video output using a capture card. This method requires a bit of setup and additional hardware, like a capture card that supports USB-C connections, which some newer Chromebooks have.
