Last updated
Ever wondered how you can start streaming your epic Nintendo Switch adventures on Twitch? You’re not the only one! Broadcasting your gameplay live is a fantastic way to share your gaming moments with the world.
Let’s dive into the steps you need to take to go live on Twitch using your Nintendo Switch. It’s easier than you might think, and soon you could be sharing your own Zelda quests or Mario Kart races!
Streaming Nintendo Switch Games on Twitch
To stream from your Nintendo Switch to Twitch, you’ll need a few things: a capture card, streaming software on your PC, and, of course, a Twitch account. Unfortunately, the Nintendo Switch doesn’t have built-in streaming capabilities for Twitch, so we’ll have to use some cool gadgets and software to get you live.
First, connect your Nintendo Switch to a capture card, which then connects to your PC. This setup allows the video and audio from your Switch to be inputted directly into your streaming software, like OBS Studio or Streamlabs, which then broadcasts it to Twitch. Make sure to set up your scenes and audio sources in your chosen software, and then hit “Start Streaming” to share your gaming skills with the world!
