Ultimate<\/i><\/a>, you\u2019ll need a way to livestream from your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/nihadskabaa.html\">Nintendo Switch<\/a>. Fortunately, it\u2019s easy to start streaming and doesn\u2019t require too much additional equipment. Here\u2019s how to livestream on the Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"NIHADSKABAA\"  class=\"west_sku_post\" data=\"NIHADSKABAA\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you\u2019ll need to livestream from the Nintendo Switch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s assume you already have the Switch. If you didn\u2019t buy a package with the Dock, you\u2019ll need that too. Your first step is to get the video from the Switch onto your computer, which isn\u2019t possible without the Dock. It\u2019s also not possible with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/nihdhsyazaa.html\">Switch Lite<\/a>, so only the regular Switch or the Switch OLED will do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Video\/Wireless-and-Live-Streaming\/Video-Capture-and-Converters\/Video-Capture\">video capture device<\/a>. These connect to the HDMI output of the Dock and let streamers move their video to a computer. Lastly, you\u2019ll need streaming software. <a href=\"https:\/\/obsproject.com\/\">Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) Studio<\/a> is free, and it\u2019s compatible with all the major streaming video sites. It\u2019s available on PC and Mac. Why do you need streaming software? It adds several necessary options to your stream, like multiple cameras, multiple mics or other audio sources, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you install the OBS software and set it up on your computer, put the Switch in its Dock, connect the Dock to the video capture device, and connect the capture device to your computer. The OBS software will have an option to use your Switch as the main video source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Services where you can livestream with the Nintendo Switch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever service you decide to stream your gameplay to, it\u2019s worth setting up a preview first so you can get the bugs worked out before you go live. Each streaming platform has an option for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Facebook<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To broadcast gameplay from your Nintendo Switch on Facebook, first log into Facebook. Next, go to <a href=\"https:\/\/business.facebook.com\/creatorstudio\">Creator Studio<\/a> and select \u201cGo Live.\u201d This will get you started on the Live Producer page. This is where you\u2019ll find the stream key, which you\u2019ll need to get your video going on OBS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Head back over to OBS, click on Settings, then Stream. Select Facebook Live from the service dropdown menu, then enter your stream key. This gives OBS permission to broadcast via Facebook, so make sure you\u2019re ready to start. Go back over to Facebook, and you should see a preview of what your stream will look like when you go live on the social media site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Twitch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To livestream Nintendo Switch on your Twitch account, go to Settings and then Show Stream Key. Copy this key and open OBS. Under Settings, go to Stream, then select Twitch. Paste the Twitch stream key into the next box. You should now be able to see a preview on your Twitch channel of what your viewers will see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-69463 size-full\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/The-popular-game-streaming-app-Twitch.jpg\" alt=\"The popular game streaming app - Twitch\" class=\"wp-image-69463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/The-popular-game-streaming-app-Twitch.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/The-popular-game-streaming-app-Twitch-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/The-popular-game-streaming-app-Twitch-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/The-popular-game-streaming-app-Twitch-50x40.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption>The popular game streaming app &#8211; Twitch<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Copy this, then go to OBS, and under Settings go to Stream. Select YouTube in the dropdown menu, then paste the stream key. You should now see a preview on the YouTube Studio page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get the most from your streaming setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a couple pieces of gear that can help you make the most of your Nintendo Switch livestreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have a Switch already, check out the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/niswioledwd.html\">Nintendo Switch 64GB OLED<\/a>.

However, it won\u2019t be the most convenient or seamless way. You\u2019ll need a mobile device with the app Streamlabs downloaded. Create an account on Streamlabs, accept permissions, and face the phone to the TV. You\u2019ll be able to start broadcasting what your phone is recording. It&#8217;s not the best method, but it is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I connect my Switch to OBS?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To connect your Switch, you will need your Switch docked. From there, you\u2019ll connect an HDMI from your Dock to your capture card&#8217;s \u201cinput\u201d port. You\u2019ll take another HDMI and connect it from your display to your capture card&#8217;s \u201cOutput\u201d port. The last step is to connect your capture card to your computer via USB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the capture card is connected to the computer, you\u2019ll want to open OBS. Add a new Scene, Video Capture Device, and find your capture card. As soon as you add this, the stream will be able to hear and see your gameplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you record gameplay on a Switch?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the left joy con controller there is a &#8220;Capture&#8221; button. The button is square shaped with a circle on the inside, right underneath the arrow buttons. When you long-press the button the video will record 30 seconds. You can also record through OBS as well. Simply follow the steps on how to connect to OBS and hit record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Start streaming on Nintendo Switch, one of the biggest gaming platforms, is easy and doesn\u2019t require much additional equipment.
