Streaming your Nintendo Switch gameplay on Twitch might seem like a puzzle, but it’s actually pretty straightforward once you know the steps. So, let’s dive into the how-to!
The Quick and Easy Guide to Streaming
To start streaming Nintendo Switch on Twitch, you’ll need a capture card, a PC or laptop, and some free software. A capture card is a little gadget that grabs your game footage and sends it to your computer.
First up, connect your Nintendo Switch’s HDMI out to the capture card. Then, link the capture card to your PC via USB. On your computer, download streaming software like OBS Studio — it’s free and super easy to use. In OBS, add your capture card as a source, and voila, you’re ready to start streaming!
