I went through TWO OR THREE DUDES WHO SAT AND EXPLAINED EITHER HALF OR JUST THE WHOLE THING BABBLING IN GIBBERISH, IT HAD ME SO MAD, THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU MADE IT SUPER SIMPLE AND YOU GET ALL THE SUBSCRIBS
It says no signal for me, on Game Capture HD and on my TV on HDMI channel. Not too sure why this could be because everything is connected correctly. Perhaps a bust cable running from my Elgato to my TV? I had this problem with my PVR too and thought it could be because my PVR was broken, so I bought an Elgato, but same problem :/
@ArsenalRey you have to make sure that the usb is plugged directly into the computer and not a usb hub, this can cause some problems in my own experience. After your computer downloads the driver for the Elgato it should find it automatically
I got i aceren i want to récord my 360 they cable that make it work its one u screew in but it dont know how it work my birthday is son and i Home it works thank i sub and liked
I only had to watch 48seconds and it gave me all the help I needed. so this vidoe is actually the best one I found for this. so nice one man because you where achally very helpful so thanks.
The 720p60 option seems pretty viable if you wanna record games which are running natively at 720p. It can always be upscaled up to 1080p60 afterwards in video editing software.
Guys I have a question for some reason don't u need three cabals of hdmi because two go into Xbox and tv to elgato and u would need one to plug into Xbox to tv to get on the channel to play Xbox one
If I'm correct man I think 1 goes into your xbox then that same one goes into elgato. Then the other hdmi goes into elgato and the TV that you are goin to be playing on then the next cable goes from the elgato to your computer so that your elgato is capturing everything off of your xbox and just running it to the computer.
Is this a one time deal to just setting it up with the PC to download the software or do u have to have your Xbox one connected to your PC at all times to record with the capture card
+azjuan mcgregor yes, you do have to have a microphone hooked up to your computer to be able to record commentary. i don't know it the turtles will work because I've never had them before, but i know that my Astros can go to my computer and either system simultaneously
I've done the same thing I've always done when i used my 360. But of course that was when it was a lot easier with using the 3 RCA Cable instead on HDMI. Now that I use HDMI Cables, I get everything to show up onto my computer, but NOTHING shows up on my TV at all. Granted this was done back in 2014, and it's 2018, and these problems occur.
So professional haha sick tut clear and straight farward. Ill just leave u a like and a suggestion Please try to speak in a more cooler way instead of a bot, Im being friendly not rude Thanks!
Boo Yea yea the part where I said "if you are feeling a little lazy today" sounded like a scripted robot. Thanks a lot I really need to be myself. So embarrassing lel.
I have a monitor. How does the second monitor/tv get to where I can play. It shows I’m connected on one monitor but that’s using the legato. How can I actually play with the main monitor
+PDS Gaming Good thing I watched this because I'll be getting myself a Elgato capture card soon and I was worried if I need to use the HDMI cable for my monitor, TV and PC but turns out just for the TV and game console... Many thanks buddy
Im having trouble with my audio and having people in my xbox live party be able to be heard. What can I do about the voice and audio? Its all static and not coming in clear.
+obeykripy25 as long as that laptop meets the minimum requirements to run the software (posted on their website), and has at least 1 usb 2.0 or higher, then yes it can run on any laptop
im having problems, i have done everything that was said in this video yet now when i load the software it just says "Connect your device to get started" but my TV has signal so it mustr be connected. Someone please help :(
+Ravzis This means its not in the right quality, your PC or Mac or laptop elgato screen is not set up with the right quality. you need to change the quality to be the same as the tv. I hope this help, i dont know how to change the quality to match up with the tv. Mabey you can look it up, i hope this helped.
Instead of hooking up the usb to the PC, can't you just hook it up to the tv instead and the port the video to your PC through something like upload studio?
I just made video and I can hear myself talk in video on game capture hd but once I tried to watch on file on movies and tv you can only hear the game and not my voice
When i do it, it still says on my elgato that it isnt plugged in, i have a different output lead its blue and grey, i dont know if it works with xbox oen but its a HDMI for xbox so i dont know where i went wrong, could you help me please.
Midnite Insanity Never mind i fixed it all you have to do is switch your Xbox one cable from the output of your elgato to your input and take the original input one out and put it into the output, vice versa! :D
So my son wants one of these things to make a gaming video so after I connected to Xbox do I need to connect it to a computer to extract the video how does this work
Yes, the capture device is solely to transfer media from console to computer (laptop/desktop). Your pc will be using whichever program to capture and edit the videos. Keep in mind this video is 6 years old and there are much newer and better ways to capture and edit video, don't forget about streaming gameplay to a live audience.
yes it is possible, you just need to have a wire going from your headset (astro a40s are capable though i am not sure about others) to your computer and record your voice using an audio recording program. or you can use an external microphone to record your voice separately while the elgato records game chat audio and just synchronize your audio track to the video later using video editing software
ThisGamerzAwesome Finn McGarry you just have to wear your Xbox one headset for you friend to hear you then have your turtle beach wired up with USB wear ever mic in computer and sound in TV then put the turtle Beach over the top of your Xbox one standard headset
ye i figured this out the hard way, i ended up just buying an xbox one stereo headset in the end works gr8 no extra wires just connects to controller and you have game audio and chat
i would look on the website and see what that specific model can and can't handle first, but also remember that the Xbox One only puts out as low as 720p and if your model doesn't record that high of a resolution you could run into problems
Try restarting your alienware and maybe an update could pop up. Also ensure that your settings in the elgato software are configured properly. Follow these steps just to make sure: usb plugged into computer. Hdmi out (to tv) on xbox one going to hdmi in on elgato, hdmi out on elgato going to your tv hdmi port. Sometimes there are multiple hdmi ports so make sure you are on the right hdmi channel using your remote. Let me know if you're still having problems.
PDS Gaming I plugged in the HDMI cord for the output in my Elgato to my TV in something called HDMI 1/DVI INPUT and my Xbox's HDMI cord is plugged from my Xbox to something called HDMI IN 2, does that all look correct?
Wrong lol. There are two hdmi ports on the back of your xbox one. The one that says hdmi to tv has to be plugged into the hdmi in port on the elgato. So xbox hdmi plugged into elgato, tv is also plugged into elgato out port. So you should have two hdmi cables going into the elgato. Hdmi 1 on your tv is fine.
For whatever reason the software isn’t opening on my device, my system requirements on my MacBook are more than enough. Could it be it’s because the device isn’t connected ? Because honestly I wanted to make sure the simpler things worked before I made the purchase.
I have no idea anymore about elgato capture software, but I know that OBS studio works really well for capturing, recording and streaming. You can continue looking for help elsewhere for your elgato software issue, or try something else like OBS. It's free and open source. You should be able to set up the elgato the same and select it on your Mac through OBS Studio.
@@Sinclair_USMC Thnx. But I think I figured it out, it seems my current OS was just a bit under the requirements for the software so I wasn’t able to open it. But now I’m updating my MacBook, thanks anyway man !
When I download it, it says, "Please disconnect, then reconnect Elgato to complete the installation." I did that, but I can't find the software, please help.
Mrboxhead42 is it possible that you have the software opened twice? sometimes if you click on the quick menu icon (windows computers) too many times it will open up multiple instances. to find out open task manager and on the processes tab if there is more than 1 GameCaptureHD.exe open that is the problem
PDS Gaming Nevermind I have got it working now, my computer didn't have enough space to load the usb drive from the Elgato onto the computer, so I had to reboot my computer and now I have enough space :D Thanks for the reply anyway :).
I went through TWO OR THREE DUDES WHO SAT AND EXPLAINED EITHER HALF OR JUST THE WHOLE THING BABBLING IN GIBBERISH, IT HAD ME SO MAD, THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU MADE IT SUPER SIMPLE AND YOU GET ALL THE SUBSCRIBS
Thank you. I got one 2nd hand and it didn't come with instructions. All this explained even more then I needed.
Glad to help, even if I haven't made content in 7 years 😂
Why is this not as popular as the other set up videos, this one sure as hell helped me the most out of all of them?
It says no signal for me, on Game Capture HD and on my TV on HDMI channel. Not too sure why this could be because everything is connected correctly. Perhaps a bust cable running from my Elgato to my TV? I had this problem with my PVR too and thought it could be because my PVR was broken, so I bought an Elgato, but same problem :/
This is my exact problem.
Is your Elgato plugged into a USB 3.0? If so that's why.
I HAVE SAME PROBLEM
Exzd ayyye Exzds!
Exzd I was just watching your videos
10 years ago and still helpful for today

Thanks bro! Your video was explained so well and was the only video to actually solve my problem lol thank you so much!
Just seen this vid and any other video couldn't help me keep up the good work man ps I just subbed
@ArsenalRey you have to make sure that the usb is plugged directly into the computer and not a usb hub, this can cause some problems in my own experience. After your computer downloads the driver for the Elgato it should find it automatically

I got this today after 6 years...
I only had to watch 48seconds and it gave me all the help I needed. so this vidoe is actually the best one I found for this. so nice one man because you where achally very helpful so thanks.
Holy sh*# someone actually knows how to demonstrate and explain how to hook it up. Thank you.
Subbed just because I know the struggle of youtube, and this video confirmed things about the capture card, making me sure I am going to buy one now.
The 720p60 option seems pretty viable if you wanna record games which are running natively at 720p. It can always be upscaled up to 1080p60 afterwards in video editing software.
Great video helped out a lot because I wanted to know what I was getting into before getting a capture card.
Guys I have a question for some reason don't u need three cabals of hdmi because two go into Xbox and tv to elgato and u would need one to plug into Xbox to tv to get on the channel to play Xbox one
currently struggling with this
If I'm correct man I think 1 goes into your xbox then that same one goes into elgato. Then the other hdmi goes into elgato and the TV that you are goin to be playing on then the next cable goes from the elgato to your computer so that your elgato is capturing everything off of your xbox and just running it to the computer.
I believe Dominic is correct
Yeah it will not possibly work as i need to use the ‘HDMI in’ so i can see the xbox on my TV, so it will not work
Is this a one time deal to just setting it up with the PC to download the software or do u have to have your Xbox one connected to your PC at all times to record with the capture card
How can I Record my voice with this? I am using Turtle Beaches that can be used for PC and Xbox One. Please help me! Thanks!
+azjuan mcgregor yes, you do have to have a microphone hooked up to your computer to be able to record commentary. i don't know it the turtles will work because I've never had them before, but i know that my Astros can go to my computer and either system simultaneously

@@Sinclair_USMC sorry don’t mean to sound ignorant but is streaming game play another device?
@@rafaelalarcon8299 No, streaming is done using an app or program like twitch to show your gameplay live to viewers.
So you have to buy a another HDMI cable?
Do I have to unplug anything from my xbox and to put it in my elgato? Also, what if you got an elgato without an HDMI. Someone please tell me.

you use the blue yeti with and audio recording program (such as audacity) on your computer
Thank u
What about sound? I'm using a monitor and I would like to get game/chat audio to my headset and elgato, is this possible?
its not possible with turtle beaches
yes it is possible, you just need to have a wire going from your headset (astro a40s are capable though i am not sure about others) to your computer and record your voice using an audio recording program. or you can use an external microphone to record your voice separately while the elgato records game chat audio and just synchronize your audio track to the video later using video editing software
Finn McGarry yes it is

I have followed the instructions and it says on the software my game capture hasn't been found someone help please!!!.
really helpful thanks :) subbed
Do u need to have to newest version of the elgato or can i have the old one that i had to my ps3?
i would look on the website and see what that specific model can and can't handle first, but also remember that the Xbox One only puts out as low as 720p and if your model doesn't record that high of a resolution you could run into problems
+felleytexgaming you can always get a cheap walmart laptop and just transfer the file from the to your other computer with a flash drive
