So, how exactly does one go about broadcasting their Nintendo Switch adventures online? We’ve got you covered with a step-by-step guide.
Quick Answer: Getting Started with Streaming
To stream from your Nintendo Switch, you’ll need a few things: a capture card, a streaming software on your PC or laptop, and, of course, your Nintendo Switch. The capture card is the magic link that lets your computer see what’s happening on your Switch.
First, you connect your Nintendo Switch’s HDMI out to the capture card, then connect the capture card to your PC. With your streaming software open (like OBS or XSplit), you can then capture the video from your Switch and stream it to platforms like Twitch or YouTube.
