Guide to Connecting Nintendo Switch to a Laptop

This video capture card enables you to connect your Nintendo Switch or Raspberry Pi to your laptop (now even your Android smartphone or tablet) and display it on your laptop screen!

Note:
- The video streaming latency is relatively low, however, this is recommended for non-response critical games.
- OBS is perfect screen recording/streaming software, audio works well through the video capture adapter.

In a perfect world, every guide video would be like this one:
No five minute introduction
No out of nowhere ads
No nonsense and straight to the point

[sabersroommate]

This person gets it. This is how you do this kind of video. No loud energy talking.

my man, playing with switch on a laptop playing the witcher game, living the best from both world, respect

[existing_human]

You're doing Gods work my man. No giant intro or ad or give away. Just straight to it, show don't tell. A true piece of cinema that brings a tear to my eye, maybe even more so than UP. Godspeed.

Bro this video was the most helpful I’ve seen ever, it’s short, it’s sweet and it’s straight to the point, it’s also super easy to understand and isn’t distracting with music or anything (Which is a god sent as I’m someone who struggles with focusing and understanding)
Thank you so much for making this video
I struggle with understanding and focus as well as my sister as well
She wanted to start streaming so I was trying to set it up for her but every video I watched was confusing or to loud and didn’t make sense(idk what’s wrong with me I’m just dumb)
So thanks a lot 😄😄😄👍👍👍

Easy to follow

Hey guys ! Had no sound
Quick and easy fix, just select the gear icon (where you can see the audio, bottom middle part) and then ''Advanced Audio properties'', change the ''switch'' one to monitor and to ''Monitor and Output'' and you should be set !

[Blitzwolfer]

Finally made simple and easy no hype needed just short explanation with no words

1:30 When I click "Device" nothing else but "Integrated Webcam" appear. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have any ideas?

[taotravyuniversalist]

Just bought a device to connect to my switch to my laptop for slow times at work, thankyou for this simple and great video.

[merryglowround]

I did the exact same thing but for some reason it doesn’t show the „USB video“ thing on obs

[iXiClub]

I'm stopping here to add onto the pile that says this video was straight to the point and informative. No bullshit. I never give thumbs up. Ever. But you earned this one.

[bethrebamontan]

Tried this with el gato software and it wouldn’t work, followed your video and used OBS and worked perfectly. My nephew is so excited. Thanks

[dianakooferthom]

dont have a video capture card, but this video helped me understand exactly what i have to do. bought an hdmi cable for my computer so that i can connect it to my laptop. this kinda made everything make sense and why it wasnt showing up as a video capture device in OBS. planning to buy a video capture card tomorrow! and probably a nice bluetooth mic or headset since i dont have a pc set up, i only have a laptop sadly. its been working since 2019 though!

[asstrowworld]

how did you go on your device section how did you get the USB VIDEO to show up, i followed all steps and i dont have that part. Help please.

[WarthunderGamingoffical]

Why is there only camer option and no USB video

[jeannieh]

Latency (lag) is never acceptable with video games, at least not in my opinion, so if you are a frequent gamer I would never recommend a cheap capture card. This video is still very informative just get a 1 or 200 dollar or higher capture card. In fact getting a 1080p 27" monitor at a pawn shop for $25 is your best bet if you dont plan on streaming your Nintendo games online. 👍

[sky-tinh]

It works great! Thank you so much!
I bought a video capture device that was a bit different, it's a little box with an audio port. Maybe it can give better resolution.
There's is a small delay on some games, but I personally don't mind as long as I can play on a bigger screen, and you probably get used to it after a while.
Overall, I'm really satisfied 👍

[xenoblaides]

I have got a different game capture card, but it works. thanks! I use to play MK8 Deluxe and it works fine..but sometimes i got a delay from like 100ms. But thanks to the video!
