I want to make a viedio with the nintendo switch. And want to film how I play (and want to show it on youtube) but don't know how to film the game without using a camera many youtubers do it like that?

pr

This is only possible with a capture card and they are expensive ^^

Te

Serious

pr

This is my complete seriousness - I have one myself and use it (in addition to various gimmicks with the webcam) occasionally for the Wii U.

Te

So I should use a camera

Zy

With the help of a capture card. The HDMI output of the Nintendo Switch is then connected to the capture card and you can record it with a program on the PC.

pr

Naheeein xD You can connect this capture card to the switch (console). You then connect it to your PC / laptop via the capture card and let the game record via (e.g.) OBS

Te

Where is this capture card available

Te

I can't just use an HDMI cable

pr

Yes, but only the cable does not help you ^^ - then you play the game on the monitor and end - you have no access to your hard drive, programs, etc

Te

Boah the cost 100 euro

Cu

As already mentioned: You need a capture card. You can search on Amazon and see the products. Either an external one or one to install. However, these are usually more expensive. Unfortunately, you will not find any other method to do this.

You can film with a camera, but… If nobody wants to look at it, I can tell you right away ^^

Te

But if I connect the nintendo with the pc and then play on the pc, i can film what i do on the pc

pr

With what? - Not with the camera?

pr

Oh yeah, nobody wants that - I tried that when I was 9 years old xD

Zy

For example at Amazon.

Zy

Mine cost 200 euro.

Te

Yes like the other youtubers do

Te

pr

Te

pr

I repeat: Show me a successful one

I do NOT know any game content that does not have a capture card or similar. Was uploaded

Te

Te

Very expensive

Zy

There are also those that cost over 1,000 euro, 100-200 euro is still quite cheap.

Te

OK
