Streaming Without a Capture Card: The Basics
To stream your Nintendo Switch games on Twitch without a capture card, you’ll need a stable internet connection, a PC, and some free software. The magic solution here is a piece of software that can mirror your Switch’s screen to your PC.
First, download a screen mirroring app on your PC. There are several options out there, but popular choices include ‘LetsView’ or ‘ApowerMirror’. These tools allow your PC to display what’s happening on your Switch. Next, you’ll need streaming software like OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) which is free and highly versatile. With OBS, you can capture the mirrored Switch display and stream it directly to Twitch.
