Building a Pro Streaming Setup for Xbox Series X|S (Mac OS)

[@MidnightMan]

Who liked the hamster socks?

[@omgitsmrdubs]

I bought a 10 dollar 4k 60hz cable for my legato hd60s+ its working with o input delay now

[@Burukdirar]

Idk what that means but ya

[@Diddy_Dynamite]

Does a MacBook Air work for this

[@DoctorSquash]

Lol

[@GTB_tljevr]

can i use a lenovo

[@xandernazon6359]

I would love to see a budget version of this. As someone who just wants to try out streaming, I don’t want to purchase a streamdeck or foot pedal in case I don’t love it but also want to make sure I output the best product when I do try my hand at streaming

[@jayycruz2614]

Temu bro. Just got one and everything works.

[@Erick-io5xi]

same lol

[@justforthetv]

lol right. He's doing a bit much

[@BreaAvant]

@@justforthetv how he doing too much?

[@TIDDIESPRINKL3S]

Would love a budget friendly video! Thank you for keeping it simple and not overloading us with information!

[@ThatGuy-hb9ke]

I'd like to see a budget version for this! More along the lines of a cheaper but easily capable laptop and capture card for the xbox.

[@Mozmorelife]

Your channel deserves more and more subscribers. Im definitely appreciate how easy and cool you explain and its feels not to boring whatching your videos. APPRECIATE ALLLLLL YOUR TIPS AND ADVICE. REAL ONE THIS GUY

[@MidnightMan]

Appreciate the kind words! Will keep trying not to be boring haha

[@BOKCJOHNNYBLACK]

You stay giving out the sauce keep making it

[@MidnightMan]

we keep it cooking sir!

[@Princeton-xw8gf]

Lmao!

[@LastCall117]

Fantastic video and beautiful setup! Holy cow you rip through a ton of content and setup in short order. I was troubleshooting an Elgato HD60 and decided I just toss it if there was another better Mac ready capture device (been troubleshooting it for way too long) when I found your wonderfully detailed and comprehensive video. Many thanks. Cheers

[@MidnightMan]

Cheers to you as well! Happy content creating!

[@kirubelsolomon8662]

I have an elgato HD60, and if the problem is not connecting because of usb 3.0 cable, you should buy a cable that is 10gbps, I recommend belkin Usb 3.0 10gbps. Works for me😊

[@DjKoraima]

Omg I think with this video it will help me big time on setting up my stream. I’ve basically had all elgato accessories to get a stream going however only thing stopping me was my 2012 MacBook Pro 😅 but I finally upgraded to a 2020 MacBook Pro M1 chip and now I’m ready to start connecting all my stuff. I’m actually just waiting for a usb-c adapter to connect the hdmi cable 😂

[@MidnightMan]

Your setup will be 🔥 once it all come together

[@nadya454]

Great video! Explanation was super clear and easy to understand. Much appreciated

[@donna-donna]

Love the shirt MidnightMan!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 Look amazing, Sir!! Also great Video!

[@MidnightMan]

Haha TY Donna! Gotta stay fresh!

[@tagmegb]

Nice video!!! A budget version would be interesting for us who are just starting out.

[@5_Myles]

Very detailed and very well spoken. Appreciate it brotha

[@chaesshorts]

That button up is clean! I see you Midnight Man!

[@SomeDadGaming]

This is similar to my setup except no Mac. And I use an acer nitro 5 and a cheap Acer slim. One for streaming and one for chats. Also, on a 50" TV instead of a monitor. But the general setup is the same. Very nice!

[@MidnightMan]

Your setup sounds awesome!

[@SomeDadGaming]

@MidnightMan thanks man, it's not fancy. But it gets the job done! 💯

[@Alexis-jm5lq]

You explain everything so well!

[@Ronnie_G]

Bro thank you for this content. I have a MacBook Pro quad core. I also have a series X. I know a little about tech but not too much. You’re really helpful.

[@donna-donna]

Left my like and my comment is, would love a new budget video for PS5/windows /elgato capture card... In the special way you do!!

[@MidnightMan]

Will be in the works, got so many videos to push out before end of the year 😀

[@arizonakingsentertainment2013]

Thanks for these videos bro gonna get all this stuff

[@alexhightower4040]

We need budget version!!! Great videos all the time!

[@DrewMeister32]

[@Rameses_the_God]

Thanks for taking the time to explain this

[@KyWarHammerKy]

Really enjoy this channel.

[@jameswrath268]

Thank you for this ! Super helpful 🤞🏼

[@zackcotto]

Should have a disclaimer saying” you cant record chat audio unless you have a wired headset, not the headset im promoting” with this setup… wouldve saved me money

[@Nedvio]

Very nice video, straight to the point.

[@humble3692]

Appreciate this tutorial, subbed.

[@StarLordXRP]

This helps a ton!

[@onebigcrazyfamily5973]

Wow! What an incredible setup..I’m looking for something to get my son started. He’s almost 10 and has been begging me for about 3 years to get him setup but I have no idea where to start. It seems like u have to do and have so many things lol..alotta great info here tho thanks! 😊 would love budget friendly for him to get started idk if u did that yet Gna go through some more of your vids.. 😊

[@StephenVerlí]

i legit have an xbox series s and a mac. this video couldn't be more for me lol

[@vegasgeorgy5310]

I have the same setup but I have a buzzing sound coming from my EVGA capture card that's really annoying and can't find a fix for it.

[@ReggieOllie]

Helpful. Thank you!

[@tylerfair9798]

Fantastic video!

[@omgitsmrdubs]

just woke up and. watched dis banger

[@treveille]

Can you do one with the Mac mini that is already set up with dual monitors?

[@yennefers_body]

I'm kinda starting to understand, but still very confused about the audio tracks. Will adding the capture card as an audio track only record the game sound and my party track, but not my headset mic (that's what I'd prefer) therefore leaving me able to use my usb mic for the stream itself all while I'm chatting to my buddies over the headset mic. I'm scared of echoing my voice. I should probably then just keep the mic monitoring feature tured off otherwise I'll have double my voice. An updated indepth tutorial for Windows 11 in 2024, please, I beg!

[@superstar455]

First 4 minutes blow my budget.

[@4realMase]

Might be a silly question but will all this equipment be good for recording KZbin videos also?

[@nymsnot_your_mommaz_stream5683]

Yes I would love for you to do a budget video for xbox series x, please kind brilliant sir!

[@DocDamn]

Hopefully soon we’ll see a setup tour with a pc 🙏 also that setup looks great

[@MidnightMan]

Thanks DocDamn! And it's in the works, have a lot of ideas to get out 😊

[@retroblew4087]

Thank you midnight man !!!!!💯💯💯

[@carmellosolorio3436]

What’s the purpose of the laptop? Can there be a substitute for it?

[@wally8916]

okay so im seeing a lot of conflicting information. essentially what i want is to have all of the audio that goes into my headset (connected to my xbox controller). whether i am in a party, game chat or discord (through xbox) to go to the stream. do I need the chat link cable to make this work? @midnightman help!

[@Aiden_Harper]

What windows PC would you recommend? For this

[@marss4536]

Hi @midnightman can you please tell me if I can use the Elgato Hd60x with this setup?

[@skawtysayz]

With this setup but minus the external mic- will the party chat be able to be heard while streaming or recording? I like to record with my friend in party chat and I want to make sure her audio will still be recorded

[@NotNPC1]

yo thx alot

[@MidnightMan]

Anytime!

[@Burukdirar]

Can we get a new version with window laptop and keyboard and a mouse

[@MidnightMan]

It’s comin

[@GlitchyK]

Can u please do a budget one for Xbox with an android laptop

[@craigbrown7081]

Can you use Mac mini instead of the MacBook ?

[@RP_W3ST]

There’s no link for the opal c1 4k 60 webcam can’t you post it in comments as can’t find it on Amazon

[@SimplyJoelG]

Having trouble with the game volume coming through, I bought a Elgato HD60x. The video and camera is working, just no game audio.

[@ellesor27]

Best vid, thank you 🙏

[@Jessica_Rose131]

I love that game capture card it’s my favorite 🎉

[@MidnightMan]

It really is great!

[@TY_LR]

So are you gaming on console and then using your laptop for the wallpaper/school? I’ve been wanting to do a similar thing.

[@solaricons]

Agreed. I have the same question.

[@josephjohnson2077]

Can you do a video for if game sounds not coming through?

[@predalien0202]

This all helps very much, as I know what scenes to do where and for all the audio to go through, but where do I look to play the game? I only have one monitor, so do I need another monitor to stream and play? like what screen to I look at to play the game when the xbox display goes through the capture card. BTW I have the same capture card.

[@ekckicks8141]

Yo love your videos man and it’s helped me in deciding what to get to start. I got one quick question, if I wanted to use an Elgato X and I’m using a 2021 MacBook Pro, would you recommend not using a USB-C hub and still using a high speed C-C to plug it into my laptop ? I noticed you said there were errors when using adapters or dongles so just wanted to know your opinion on hubs. Thanks !

[@ekckicks8141]

Follow up comment didn’t even get to where you talked about the dongle yet. So in that case would you only recommend some sort of adapter for something such as the stand alone mic ?

[@kyawzhein27]

Thank you for this tutorial. Can I also use other microphones from Rode or Shure for streaming?

[@trevedillahunty4470]

Opinions on using the elgato capture device instead?

[@onthepitchpod]

if i don't have the m1 chip am i screwed? here are my mac details Processor - 2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 Graphics - Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB Memory - 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 2019 MacBook Pro 16 inch Thanks man!

[@xavier.v7581]

Does the capture card not come with the usb-c to usb-c connection cord or is the godspeed cable just recommended instead of whatever comes in the box?

[@kennethlewis7116]

Thank you for the help

[@geary1498]

Hey Does the USB have to be 2.0 for the USB-C adapter? I have an adapter with 3 ports of 3.0. Should I be fine ?

[@DABETE5]

@MidnightMan thank you for this video. Im currently buying things to have a similar set up. What did you use the foot pedal for? Can you use it as a push to talk for the game chat?

[@RuffnItOutdoors]

What you aren’t really explaining is what if you want to use the headset and not use the mic audio in which you described. So what we don’t need another source mic for the output if we are just using our headset???

[@CyberDuece]

@MindnightMan I have been benging on your videos the last couple of hours. I am going to set up a streaming system for your 13-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter (also in my 5th decade I think I am ready to pick up my sticks again. Just bought PS5 Madden 25 today.) I am curious after watching several videos, what do you do with the equipment and gear after you complete your reviews and videos. I can imagine a lot of redundant equipment to store.

[@Schnack_]

Great vid! Thx!

[@R2B2YT]

will a mac mini m1 work?

[@CraytonTv]

Great video bro! Keep up the good work, nice setup for the Xbox & using Mac and video was well explained, very helpful. God Bless

[@MidnightMan]

Xbox and Mac! What a combo haha TY bro!

[@CraytonTv]

@@MidnightMan yeah crazy combo but PlayStation same way just few settings is different especially the part with the head audio stuff lol i ℹ definitely want to try that opal webcam for mac

[@MidnightMan]

The opal webcam is awesome! I’ve been liking it

[@CraytonTv]

@@MidnightMan awesome I’m definitely going to get it been making some adjustments to the setup and time to get a new faster capture card also but that opal webcam seem perfect and works great with mac

[@RnBiiaGaming]

Did we ever get a budget friendly version of this setup fir Xbox X?

[@Jah_Savvy]

Can I use a 2015 Apple MacBook Pro with intel I7

[@MIKEKELLYONYT]

Good question!!

[@delboy6384]

Yes, my wife used a Macbook Pro late 2013 to stream her Xbox gaming,

[@BOSSSHAWN]

Awesome video. I’m going to try connecting my Xbox Series S with my iMac. 🔥

[@MidnightMan]

Go for it!

[@KamrinJordan]

Can you do this with i9 gaming laptop not Mac book it’s acus 2023 gaming laptop

[@davidandadamplaygamesphelp3601]

Cool but this sounds pricey

[@authur.morgan341]

Yea bit its the best equipment and there are budget options too

[@Momo-xs8mo]

There are ways to reduce the price of things. An Elgato hd60x capture card should run you much cheaper for no sacrifice in quality if you don't stream 4k. The fancy webcam he has isn't necessary and a $50 one should be fine as long as its 1080p or higher. I know blue Yeti microphones are superb for their price. Under $100 All other accessories can be bought on a budget such as lighting, boom arms, etc.

[@josecasillas7745]

Cool stuff ain't cheap, and cheap stuff ain't cool

[@LP.Highlights]

It’s not that much, I did it for $40

[@joeberg5642]

Be glad you aren’t streaming on PC. So much more complicated and WAY more expensive

[@sparkzy6]

Midnight Man, I hope you see this. The Mic sold Out. Any other Recommendations?

[@VideogameshortsG]

Hey will this capture card work with a Nintendo switch?

[@xXWH1TEW01FXx]

I used this video as a guild, but I have now been able to get myself a good starter PC. I want to still use the Capture card, but the Casing has no USB-C ports. Is there an adaptor or a different cord you would recommend?

[@galacticog5499]

Can i use the new IMac with the M3 chip instead of that laptop you suggested? Id rather have something to plug in than a laptop for my desk setup

[@MidnightMan]

Sure thing! That'll work like a beast!

[@galacticog5499]

@@MidnightMan my only concern was the imac has 8 core cpu and 10 core gpu vs the specs of the laptop you posted

[@lowkeyfifty1673]

Is it possible to use the soundboard with the stream deck on Xbox?

[@nr01vid]

PLEASE A SETUP FOR PC WINDOWS THANKS

[@maggiewagner4029]

can I use my Mac webcam instead of an external cam?

[@raquanruff3422]

Why didn’t you use elgato for this one?

[@HatchDogRadio]

I have a wired headset, does that affect my setup?

[@Choppss1089]

Does this work if you wanna use a pc for what the laptop does ? If so, are the steps the same ?

[@Gpm_2804]

Yes do a budget setup for a PlayStation 5

[@chaosbills7095]

Quick problem when I record gameplay it’s laggy but audio is fine why is that????

[@ChyNotShyGoated]

I have this setup except I have the m2 MacBook Pro 2023 & no camera . for some reason the video capture isn’t capturing my game play, it’s a black screen only thing showing up is my logo, I’ve tried literally everything

[@ChyNotShyGoated]

I’ve started the stream to test and nothing just black the mic is working tho.

[@JuanKage_]

what if I am playing with friends that do not have an xbox ? for example I play with my friends and talk on discord how can I use this setup to stream and so that the voice chat from discord comes thru and so that it can be heard on the stream ?? while also having a separate mic and have everything run smooth ?? I have so many questions about this lol I dont know who to ask this and how to do it with the most simple set up

[@Sportifysquad1989]

Huge Eagles fan here as well GO BIRDS!!!!!

[@thatbeluis7301]

When I stream the audio picks up two different audio outputs and the stream sounds like I’m talking twice. When I am in party chats it picks up everyone’s voice twice? Does anyone know how to fix it?

[@DoctorRobert2009]

But how do I add in my rodecaster pro???

[@legacyplays6050]

All the mac I’ve seen cost basically £799+ so would this setup still work if i buy a mini pc and got a secondary budget monitor? I feel like the only problem would be having to connect the capture card to the Xbox and the mini pc but then having to connect the mini pc to the 2 monitor but I don’t even know if that would be a problem?

[@lovablequeengaming]

This video has helped me so much but one thing I notice is It wont seem to record game chat, discord parties, xbox parties. How do you fix things please?

[@GAMINGOLDDAD]

Good video. Could you do a budget setup please?

[@chelleezy]

Do you know how I can add music without hurting the vod copyright?
