How to Watch Videos on Your Nintendo Switch Browser
Last updated
Wondering how to catch up on your favorite videos using your Nintendo Switch? You’re in the right place!
Many Nintendo Switch owners ask if they can watch videos through the console’s web browser. Let’s dive into that!
Short Answer: A Workaround Exists
Officially, the Nintendo Switch doesn’t have a dedicated web browser app for general use. However, there’s a creative workaround that allows you to watch videos on certain platforms.
By using the hidden web browser, primarily intended for connecting to Wi-Fi networks that require a login, you can access some video streaming websites. It’s not the most straightforward method, but it gets the job done for those in the know.
Step-by-Step Guide to Watching Videos
To start watching videos on your Nintendo Switch, you’ll first need to connect to a Wi-Fi network that requires a sign-in. This action prompts the Switch to open its web browser. Once in, you can navigate to sites like YouTube. Note, this method’s success may vary based on the website and specific updates to the Switch’s software.
Remember, this workaround isn’t officially supported by Nintendo, so your mileage may vary. Some users have reported better experiences with certain streaming sites over others.
