@@Infiniversal yeah I keep coming back to researching it every 2/3 weeks and always just loose hope. I sadly don’t have money for a capture card. Like I didn’t even get my switch until around E3 last year
Thanks for this video! Definitely looks a lot easier than what I thought. Could you do a follow up video on connecting it to a platform, like UA-cam live or twitch?
Just Purchased this using you’re link . Been looking for one but looking at your video makes me not regret it . I have issues with the ElGato for years . Thank you 🙏
I usually capture direct from my switch with its built in capture feature, that’s how I done my Pokémon Arceus Review and it came out perfect! But unfortunately not all games are supported with video capture
I literally just beat the Zora Guardian Beast in Breath of the Wild I was like I want to remember. I feel sad that I could only get 30 secs of that fight.
This is so cool..also I’ve never been this early and it’s so weird 🤣🤣 Real talk tho this video is rly helpful cuz I’ve actually been wanting to be a streamer for a while so I’m rly thankful for this!!!
So just to be clear, using this device means that a tv or second monitor isn't needed to provide the best of little to no latency for streaming like how others videos say that you need. With this device you get that latency free quality with just the switch and your pc, is that correct? I am new to streaming and want to stream my switch gameplay to twitch so I want to verify if I need to invest in a second monitor or not.
GG! After watching this video I end up ordering the capture card! I should be getting it this Friday, and I'm really excited to give it a try! The video was also very helpful hopefully you do more tutorials on gadgets as well!
@@Feileacan you know the funny part was it works really well for a little while and I was happy with it but it overheated. I felt how hot it was getting and then one day it just stopped working. I ended up getting the elgato HD60s+ which has not let me down. And I actually thinks it makes some of the games look amazing through that capture card.
I wonder what games Zach plays under all three accounts/icons that has on a switch when he shows his home screen when he's has his switch main screen on when he's making a video and he shows it I wonder what games he plays on all three.
I’m trying to stream my switch live. I already bought, HDMI splitter and Capture card but I keep on seeing my Computer monitor on my TV , is there a way? See the live set up just on my computer and play the game on my TV
So, hypothetically speaking if a person wanted to try to make videos of their Nintendo gameplay with the hopes of one day being able to monetize their work. Would a person have to be worried about Nintendo coming after them someday for having their video game footage in their videos?
I see that it works on the switch, Xbox and PlayStation consoles, do you know if it also works with the Wii, Wii U, etc.? This is such an easy process, I have a switch and want to use this on that but just seeing for other consoles I have also!
Thanks you ! I have an island too much layered, it runs rather smoothly on my switch but it lags when I have visitors,. I think i will take it so i can show them what i did. ^^
Does anyone know how this compares to the elgato hd60 s+? It’s on sale this weekend and seems to have better reviews but you guys know how the reviews can be….. lol
I have the elgato and it’s just okay. Can be touchy and laggy so I ended up not streaming abs just got frustrated. I’m going to check this new one out and see if it performs better 🤞
I have a old laptop but I want to make nintendo content but im not sure if it can take it so would it work? its not super old by the way its just pretty old and im worried about obs not being able to handle it
Zach please!!!! I am doing this research to help my daughter with her new channel. Will this hook up the same way to a PS5? She has a smaller capture card with good results for the Switch but we can't get the audio worked out when connecting to the PS5. We either get game play audio and no mic or mic and no game play audio. HELP!!!
@SwitchForce Hi there! I just wanted to say that the video has been super helpful and everything is working. The only problem I'm having is that while the Switch audio is being captured, I personally am not able to hear the game's audio. Does anyone know why this is happening? Thank you so much!
I got a ElGato 60s + and I try using OBS The OBS interface is not that simple to use to me, because I try recording footage on my switch at this point I give up I literally only stream off my Xbox series X because it’s way more simpler I just go to Twitch
hey Zack, yesterday i bought my time at portia. it took 3 hrs download then this morning i went to play animal crossing it starting all over at beginning, Are any way i can get my game back?
Thanks for this tutorial. I’ve been buying equipment to start doing this. I purchased the other known capture card but this one is much cheaper. The only decision I am struggling with is trying to decide what gaming laptop to purchase. Nothing over $1,500.00. Any suggestions?
My only question right now; is this compatible with Macs? I know windows based computers are ideal for a lot, but atm I’m stuck with my MacBook Pro, which as far as I know might barely work. Thoughts?
It doesnt, the only capturecard that works on MacOS is ElGato HD60S+, the PLUS one, not the regular one. I’ve been recording with it smoothly on my mac.
Remember my Dad putting in a blank VHS to record our Legend of Zelda gameplay...This is so cool (though, I'm starting to mildly regret getting a Switch Lite...)
@@TheNerdypony Ha! My wife and I each got our own Switch Lite so we could play ACNH together along with having our own, individual game libraries. Definitely the right decision, but I miss the big screen.
I can’t wait to upgrade my dinosaurs of the Computer it has no graphics card. 😟 or enough system requirements for me to install one😢 I can’t wait until next payday does anybody have some suggestions for good gaming laptops🥳
Hey Switch force i'v been thinking about this alot and i kinda want to become what you are but i think i need some info from you to be a successful youtuber
Special Coupon Code 10ZACHSF works on Amazon! Get 10% off and start recording your Switch: amzn.to/3I8EXFm
Does this device work for other HDMI consoles as well, like Wii U and PS3?
question can this work for the stream deck?
Literally busy researching how to stream and record Switch and as I lost hope… boom! You make this video 😂
Same, been researching on how to record for a while on thw switch.
@@Infiniversal yeah I keep coming back to researching it every 2/3 weeks and always just loose hope. I sadly don’t have money for a capture card. Like I didn’t even get my switch until around E3 last year
I just use an elgato capture card and OBS for recording/streaming
@@bronzepkmn don’t have the money and it’s not available here
Does this actually work?
This is amazing. I love it! Thank you Zach. We appreciate you doing this for us.
Ive always wanted to get into recording and streaming, i think ill pick it up now, thank you so much Zach
Thanks for this video! Definitely looks a lot easier than what I thought. Could you do a follow up video on connecting it to a platform, like UA-cam live or twitch?
Awesome video. Was always interested in doing this, but this makes it a heck of a lot easier. Congrats on getting to 420k
I’d love more videos like this, even just like tips if someone wants to start making videos outside of the hardware needed!
Dude i was LITERALLY at Best Buy looking for capture cards earlier today, and here you are dropping a gem! 🙏🏽
I've been wanting to record my ACNH play but it seemed complicated and expensive. Thanks, Zach!
Just Purchased this using you’re link . Been looking for one but looking at your video makes me not regret it . I have issues with the ElGato for years . Thank you 🙏
Whats your opinion on it?
Curious to see how this one preforms!
I try to teach people about UA-cam a bit in my channel but the videos tank lol
Ok but how do you make ur game in fullscreen
What’s funny is that I was there early on when you were starting out, stuck with you and here we are
I usually capture direct from my switch with its built in capture feature, that’s how I done my Pokémon Arceus Review and it came out perfect! But unfortunately not all games are supported with video capture
Fortnite :(
Always enjoy watching your videos, and this will probably help me.
Definitely coppin this Zach!! Been looking for an excuse to be the next big shot like you SwitchForce 😤
Would a USB splitter affect the quality? My laptop only has one USB 3.0 port and I would need a second one for a mic.
I literally just beat the Zora Guardian Beast in Breath of the Wild I was like I want to remember. I feel sad that I could only get 30 secs of that fight.
This is amazing, always enjoy watching your videos.
I literally just made a new channel posting animal crossing videos. Thank you so much for the encouragement!
Just bought one on Amazon! Can’t wait to get more content out on my channel
This being lag-free makes it quite tempting for someone who just wants a good external capture setup.
is this still the best affordable option today? Just to clarify, i can record and edit all from this device. I dont need a laptop or PC to edit?
This is so cool..also I’ve never been this early and it’s so weird 🤣🤣
Real talk tho this video is rly helpful cuz I’ve actually been wanting to be a streamer for a while so I’m rly thankful for this!!!
You cool as hell for making this video! Thanks!✊🏿
welcome back ghostrobo, we missed you
Love your vibe! This was a great video!
Can’t wait to watch this

DGR is amazing at this!
What if you only want to capture footage only in handheld mode
Can you confirm this will work, and my friends will hear me both in stream and “in game” for example say on Fortnite?
What if my headset is wireless Bluetooth and wanna hear audio from the game and on discord
Thanks Zach, love your videos
I have a UA-cam app on my switch does it record off of UA-cam also
GG! After watching this video I end up ordering the capture card! I should be getting it this Friday, and I'm really excited to give it a try! The video was also very helpful hopefully you do more tutorials on gadgets as well!
What are your thoughts a year later?

Nice! Would love it
I was so excited to try and its unavailable 😢
Is it possible to use a hdmi to usbc for the outport to capture while playing handheld??
I wonder what games Zach plays under all three accounts/icons that has on a switch when he shows his home screen when he's has his switch main screen on when he's making a video and he shows it I wonder what games he plays on all three.
Sweet! Thanks for the tip and promo code, it worked!
I already bought a cheap capture card, but this is cool for others to start on youtube
Can you do this with chromebook
I remember the days when i used to record my gaming play on a VCR special wrestling games footage.
Can I use this to just stream on discord?

Hi zach I might buy some of your mursh stuff
Code not working anymore. Just found ur video.
It works, but do you have to look through obs to see the display?
I have a old laptop but I want to make nintendo content but im not sure if it can take it so would it work? its not super old by the way its just pretty old and im worried about obs not being able to handle it
I don’t have a laptop would my phone work😅
Do I need a PC or just a monitor

when you put the facecam on the obs how to get to green screen
Thank you so much for the information.
Yes this was an ad but it was still a sweet video. Thanks.
Can you use it on a laptop?

doesn't look like we can get this in the UK :( but will keep an eye out from now on :)
I'm definitely gonna check this out
I have a question how good of a laptop do you need? I want to make content but my laptop is pretty old…
Does the computer u use matter?

Does this work for lite
Can I use this too stream as well ?
I'm picking this up, watch out zach 😉
After this video it relit the desire to stream pokemon games. Ever since I saw my first pokemon stream.
What do you use for a computer?
I just Hit that like button. Smart move buddy
i want it, but like the shipping is 46 dollars
Ok but where’s the mic?
Amazing thank you
Where is the half off? Looks like it’s just $99 with a 10% discount unless I’m missing something?
will this work with switch lite?
this product is really cool because i always wanted to record gameplay!
Nope bc it doesn't have an output to cast your screen like the reg switches does. Only way is to use a camera and do it that way. Nah.
My only question right now; is this compatible with Macs? I know windows based computers are ideal for a lot, but atm I’m stuck with my MacBook Pro, which as far as I know might barely work. Thoughts?

@@LittleMariu how come it doesn’t work for macbooks? if you use an adapter for the usb port so it can go in your macbook would it work?
@@CycIoze for it to work on a Mac it needs to be the HD60S+, the HD60S (without the plus) won’t work
@@LittleMariu oh thanks, you're a legend for responding a year later haha
Still need a pc tho??
Remember my Dad putting in a blank VHS to record our Legend of Zelda gameplay...This is so cool (though, I'm starting to mildly regret getting a Switch Lite...)
Why did you get a switch lite. You bum
@@TheNerdypony Ha! My wife and I each got our own Switch Lite so we could play ACNH together along with having our own, individual game libraries. Definitely the right decision, but I miss the big screen.
@@RobertRoweMusic next time get 2 normal switches and just play in handheld. You bums
Yeah I usedmto live with my mom. Her TV meant I couldn't always play, so I got the Lite. But now I'm thinking of getting the oled version.
Love this! Maybe a silly question...will it work with a switch lite?
nope
Unfortunately not since the Lite has no ability to output HDMI or to a TV. The Normal Switch has the dock which isn’t compatible with the Lite :/
@@SuperSkip64 oh darn ☹️ thank you!
@@shortbreadhead Thank you!
Omg…is that old clip of Zack????
I can’t wait to upgrade my dinosaurs of the Computer it has no graphics card. 😟 or enough system requirements for me to install one😢 I can’t wait until next payday does anybody have some suggestions for good gaming laptops🥳
checked the link but it sussed me out…
Capture Cards are like Pokéballs, gotta catch 'em all! Record those games!
Zac calls himself Mama... Now that explains a lot ;) lol
Hey Switch force i'v been thinking about this alot and i kinda want to become what you are but i think i need some info from you to be a successful youtuber
Funny I been wanting to do this the last few months then you pop up
Hey, here's a trade. you tell if there a online way to record from Capture card, and I sub to you.
I don't want your Job I want to work with you
What game was that playing on the screen?
I found a much cheaper one but thats good
Genki Shadowcast is better in every way and cheaper
I.... dont have a laptop :/
Man this video could be cut in half if you just reduced your unnecessary filler talk…
