How To Record Nintendo Switch Gameplay

[@DaveNodon]

I just created a new updated guide that is specially oriented towards streaming! You can check it out in the video card of this video, link is also in the description and below. It goes over alot of the same but with alot of streaming bonuses and goes through the whole process from start to finish. Hope it helps, have a lovely day! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHbXZGmFotF6esk

I've watched many tutorials to see if there was one that makes sense to me and helps me, this was the first and only one I've seen so far.

[@amrbasri68]

​@thehotdogking7734 hey r using a 2nd monitor to game on ? Cuz i am and the quality drops hard while using a capture card.

[@BlueTheCrew]

So, I'm playing Hogwarts Legacy so that's an action game. If I wanted an expensive one, would I need 2 monitors?

[@JaylanxYT]

If anyone’s having trouble with the audio like I was, go to settings on your computer and open microphone privacy settings. Make sure allow apps to access microphone is turned on, should fix it

[@bazinga7742]

Hi! I tried to do it, but my audio still not working! I checked other blogs but they didnt help me! What am I supposed to do?

[@SMGames776]

im windows 11 so the settings are diffrent

[@Bricky2021]

​​@@SMGames776Me too and everything with me works fine. For those, who has their switches not working on their PCs, I recommend looking at OBS Studio. 1. Find the video capturing device in that list; 2. Click it right button; 3. Choose "Advanced audio settings"; 4. Find it again, and near audio choose "Listening and streaming" (my OBS is russian so I could translate wrongly, do not take it seriously please❤)

[@avalonsof3665]

Or go to video and monitoring settings then turn it on. Should help fix it

[@xsicnisx]

BRO! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I didn't use this for my switch but my audio randomly went bad and it took me from August til now to fix it, thank you SO much bro 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@MARSHLAND_YT]

0:51 You can actually go to Settings > Data Management, Manage Screenshots and Videos > Copy to a computer via USB connection

[@DaveNodon]

That’s so cool! I didn’t know at time of filming and I never carry the cables I’d need. That would really help make the clip stitching method easier to deal with.

[@MARSHLAND_YT]

​@@DaveNodonNO WAY YOU ACTUALLY REPLIED

[@Lollo6268]

A better way is to connect the switch on a smart tv,install on tv a recorder app and share to ur phone/pc/tablet.

[@DaveNodon]

Never thought of that! I guess to get set up there you’d need to make sure you have a smart tv, are able to easily install apps that can record the entire screen, then rigging it all together, and making sure the quality was good. It might be a little convoluted for most people who want to get into it, but if you already have it all set up then it would be a good idea to try it out.

[@Bfjhfhjfjh]

[@HelloAbigailRenee]

what recorder do you recommend?

[@lilbear673]

​@abigailrrxce I'm sorry that you got completely ignored. Though I don't have a recommendation since I haven't tried yet, I would search it up or something. I'll try see rn.

[@VIPTaptap]

0:52 you can also go to settings, data management, manage screenshots and videos, and select copy to pc via usb connection (i use my laptop). this is what i do for my switch lite (at least until my HDMI to usbc cable arrives that i can use with my capture card.). i then copy the videos / clips to a new folder and then put them into adobe video merger online. sometimes a clip corrupts and goes pink after merging. what i do here is i disconnect the switch and usbc and try again. this works like 99% of the time

[@SuperSeamus]

Great video. I just started using OSB and also recording Switch gameplay. I found that if you right click on your game play video screen in OSB, it gives you the option of viewing it in full screen mode on your computer while recording. For the lesser demanding games, it gives you excellent gameplay without having to use the more expensive Elgato capture cards and another monitor.

[@trueNahobino]

AverMedia's capture cards are also pretty good (incase an equivalent of theirs is cheaper than an Elgato capture card). I've had their Live Gamer Ultra for over a year now and it's very quiet and the recording quality looks great.

[@FoxishZe]

Do you uave any ideas about the cheapest options for a pc or laptop that could still stream?

[@DaveNodon]

There are ways to tamp down your OBS settings to work better with slower systems. Especially if you have an HDMI splitter card and play on another monitor, then you don’t have to worry about latency at all. I wouldn’t say it has to be crazy powerful, you could probably get away with 8GB RAM, ideally some kind of dedicated graphics card, an i5. You most likely need to stay away from the entry level integrated graphics style HP laptops etc. to get a decent recording/stream going.

[@DaveNodon]

I know! I tried it on apex legends and on L.A Noire so it seems sometimes it’s for content and sometimes I can’t really tell why 🤷‍♂️ frustrating I’m sure part of it is that certain games probably don’t give the switch enough power to be constantly recording in the background for the feature to work.

Get an hdmi splitter! (with your cheap capture card) its much cheaper than getting a 'good' capture card and means you can get lagless gameplay while still being able to record and stream at the same time i spent only like 25 bucks or so on the splitter and capture card and extra hdmi cable and it works just as perfect as a 100+ capture card would!

on obs studio i connected my usb hdmi video capture card to switch to my pc. i watched my recording and i heared the games sounds but i cant hear my self talking why???

[@DaveNodon]

You would need to make sure you connect a mic as an extra audio input. It would be another input on OBS similar to how you created one for the switch audio!

[@thesearethereasonsiwanttod8702]

hey i have just set everything up bought the exact hdmi video capture thing you recommended in the video and i’ve got obs and everything is working, i only have one problem the inputs are very delayed on my monitor screen, what’s causing this issue

[@DaveNodon]

So with a pass through card where everything is going to your computer, there will always be a small amount of delay. There are a few things that could be making it worse. If your computer is older or doesn’t have a powerful cpu it could be slower. You could also try lowering your settings to a lower resolution maybe 1080 is just too much for your computer. Or try closing other programs open on the computer. You could also go into the recording settings and try lower the encoding settings.

[@thesearethereasonsiwanttod8702]

@@DaveNodon perfect lowering the encoding settings worked thanks so much

[@NotRobertJunki]

Do you need like i extra monitor or like something where i can see my pc and my switch or something like that?

[@DaveNodon]

There’s two options you can see the gameplay from the switch inside of a window on your computer like in this video - or you can get another hdmi cable and buy the more powerful capture cards; those let you send an extra signal to your tv so you can watch on the tv and record from your switch

[@gearsdoesstuff]

would you need higher quality input for mario odessey?

[@DaveNodon]

No, as long as the USB capture card is USB3.0 rated it should be capable of smooth 1080 60fps recording as long as your computer can handle it.

[@gearsdoesstuff]

so i just need the simple hdmi-pc cable correct?

[@ElijahDoesStuff-mr9lj]

It took me AGES to figure out the soundtrack you're using, then it came to me.... The Game Builder Garage Theme! Tell me if I'm right.

@@DaveNodon YES! I got it right! I LOVE THAT GAME!!

[@craiggarside1377]

That’s a great help thanks but how do you then add a mic to talk over the gameplay?

[@DaveNodon]

I take my gameplay video and bring it into a video editor. The editor will usually then let you record your mic input as another audio track. Then you need to mix them together. Some video editing software will do that for you it’s called “ducking”. If you’re recording your mic live while playing then you can create another audio source in OBS and select your mic but you can also just record from your mic from another app then you can have the two audio files separate which is better in case you make mistakes.

[@zainosway]

Can anyone help. Will I have to play directly on my pc with one of these capture cards. As I'm assuming it bypasses the TV.

[@DaveNodon]

The simple cheaper cards will only send a usb signal to your computer so you’d only be able to watch the gameplay there. The more expensive pass-through cards split your signal into two. That way one end goes to your computer and one end goes to your tv. Another potential solution is; but I think it’s trickier - to buy an HDMI splitter that splits your hdmi into two, and then use a cheaper capture card on one of them. Then you’d have the other one for your tv.

[@gaminos]

A very helpful video that helped me understanding the whole concept, thanks !

[@weliketoparty9138]

Wow this helped so much! Now I can tell my friend to record this!

[@tommytittle1992]

Do you need a decent computer when it comes to recording switch gameplay on OBS? I'm guessing a £300 laptop with basic software won't cut it?

[@DaveNodon]

It depends. OBS Studio itself is very lightweight. The settings you can record at will be restricted by the hardware But honestly the switch itself records at a low quality 720p resolution so you’d probably be able to at least match its quality plus the benefit of not having to record everything in tiny clips and painstakingly send them to a device to edit. You might have latency that makes it harder to play though especially if it’s a quick paced game though so that’s also something to think about

[@thrasherxthrasher]

Wait so for the first method do I have to keep pressing the button every time I want to clip the 30 secs or can I get it to automatically clip every 30 secs?

[@DaveNodon]

You would have to keep pressing it at LEAST once every 30 seconds. If it hasn’t been a full 30 yet, then just the time since last recording would be recorded. You need to keep it like that or else the clips wouldn’t line up perfectly. It’s definitely not ideal

[@celestebutcher1793]

If I wanted to talk during the gameplay do I have to do it separate and then edit it onto the video later? or can I record both at the same time?/ how can I do it if so?

[@DaveNodon]

Basically where you added switch audio, you can add another audio source for your microphone and find the mic in the list of devices. Then it would record both at the same time. The problem then would be - it’s hard to mix them and still sound clear. The process for making the gameplay sound lower to more clearly hear your voice is called “ducking” and there are some clear tutorials on KZbin if you search “audio ducking in obs” so that you can mesh the two together cleanly. The other option is to just record your voice over the video later. That’s good for overview type of voiceovers but if you want that realistic live reaction then recording both together is better!

I have a more recent video on how to Stream Switch gameplay(which is 95% the same process) and at the 5:30 mark I talk briefly about adding your webcam - Essentially though, you just add another “video source” like you did with the switch video and set the input as your webcam. Then when you click on the actual preview of it once it’s been added, you should be able to drag and resize that window over the top of the gameplay source and arrange it until it looks good. Another way to move it around would be to right click the webcam preview and click on “transform” which should also let you reposition it and stretch it.
