HDMI Capture Card and OBS Setup Tutorial - How to Stream Nintendo Switch!

[@BartBoyBlu9234]

Thank you for being one of the only people with enough brain power to mention audio settings, probably THE biggest issue new users will face when using a capture card. Kudos to you. 10/10.

[@TeeChu]

Audio is such a pain in OBS/streaming in general! Thanks!

[@PjsktwtStruggle]

​@@TeeChu0ppppoooo

[@SuperYoshiMan]

Out of the like 5 videos I watched, this one ACTUALLY addressed my issue! I was needing the audio to go to both my stream and headset, thanks!

[@TeeChu]

No worries! Audio is SUCH A PAIN haha

[@jjrpoektl1925]

Life saver. I hate when ppl do tutorials and then talk like you know the software already

[@TeeChu]

No worries at all!

[@ariakyu]

Just a note, your 3.0 USB on your laptop doesn't have to be blue. not every 3.0 USB port is blue. As long as you see an SS (instead of the normal USB symbol) next to your USB port, it'll take 3.0. I have 2 ports on my laptop with this symbol and then a normal USB port without the SS next to it. I can confirm that this works in the USB port that has an SS next to it even though it isn't blue. I hope this helps anyone else.

[@TeeChu]

Thanks for the tip - that makes sense!

[@MajaVuEdits]

Hey I have the USB SS symbol as well, but it's not working for me, Am I doing something wrong?

[@ariakyu]

@@mdunlocked1557 it could be many things. Maybe you plugged the In/Out wrong. Or perhaps you might not have the correct settings. Maybe your tv is a bit older. (I have an older tv that, for some reason, doesn't display my gameplay on it even though it has HDMI. I use a more modern tv and it magically works. No idea how though.) What specifically seems to be the problem? Is it just not displaying?

[@MajaVuEdits]

@@ariakyu Yeah it's just not appearing on the screen, nor does it say USB Video either

[@ariakyu]

@@mdunlocked1557 okay, make sure your In/Out are plugged into the right device. 1 for the game console and 1 for the tv. The USB part goes into the computer. make sure that that video property on OBS is set to the device recording your gameplay. So, find your video source, click it, and then click properties. Look at what the devices part says. To change it to your capture card, plug in the capture card. After that's plugged in, you can change the device to the capture card. You also need a separate "source" to record the gameplay audio.Hope this helps.

[@tigereye6487]

Best video for this. Absolute headache saver. I went as far as to deleting and reinstalling half my recording stuff with new equipment like cables and everything. I just had to redo it and follow this guide. THANK YOU, you have no idea how much of a headache you saved me from!

For those having trouble with audio like I was, I did some troubleshooting and found the solution. Open your home menu, go to settings and look up ‘microphone privacy settings’. Click change, and make sure microphone access is turned on. Then make sure allow apps to use microphone is turned on, should fix the audio problem

[@wesker74]

I think this is the first time I've genuinely been stumped by simple tech. The one I have, instructed me to use another output device and I don't have one. This helped me out a lot. Thank you brother man.

[@TeeChu]

Hey! No worries - by default you just need the standard capture card, an hdmi cable and that’s it pretty much! That said the other output device is probably an HDMI splitter - I do recommend it as a lot of cheaper capture cards can be laggy (button input wise) when watching the gameplay through OBS If you find it is a bit slow through OBS to recognise your controller inputs then I would consider a splitter - have explained how it works here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqG0pWqKf514mtksi=1KmqlcNrNkpOzY6- But ya, definitely is fiddly to get it up and running for sure!

This video is awesome! I have spent years traveling for work and lugging around TV's from project to project. Often even splitting with a few coworkers to buy a new TV for the sake of a few months before we all leave. I can finally just use my laptop as a display for whatever I want!!!! I've needed this for sooo long. thank you

[@TeeChu]

Thanks so much Joe! You can definitely use your laptop as a display with the capture card *but* note that there might be some input delay (Depends on the card and your laptop spec, but with most there usually a bit of delay from controller to game) I would still recommend a separate TV or screen if possible, however! Even if it's just a smaller monitor HDMI splitters work great for this - here's a sep video on how to get that setup :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqG0pWqKf514mtk

2:52 So basically I have a AVerMedia Capture Card, and I tried to put in my game audio, but I never found my USB Audio... Could you please help me?

[@TeeChu]

Hey! So with some cards, when you add the video source, it should also add the audio source as well (e.g. no need for a separate audio source) Have a look at the Avermedia site: www.avermedia.com/uk/support/faq/how-to-set-up-gl310-with-obs-studio

[@groveranimations]

@@TeeChu I don't think I have the LGPLite Stream Engine

[@TeeChu]

Hmm - what model of the Avermedia do you have? I think with these once you add the video source, it may not need a separate audio source (my Elgato doesn't require a sep source for example)

[@groveranimations]

@@TeeChu AVerMedia Live Gamer Mini GC311

[@TeeChu]

@@groveranimations Hmm - just had a quick look on the reddit board for AverMedia and they suggest Audio Input Device --> "Live Gamer Mini" as your device - do you see that in your dropdown? Different capture cards will have different device names instead of USB Audio - hopefully yours will show up!

thanks sooooo much! you helped my other yt channel so much. Your a life changer!

[@TeeChu]

No worries, good luck with the channel!

[@enumaelish85]

Hello TeeChu! Thank you very much for this. As a first time stream from Switch this really helped a lot. I have a question, I followed all your sound tips however mine was echoing throughout the stream (the sound effects of the game sounds like im inside a cave or the bathroom). I experimented, what worked was when I turned "Desktop Audio" in advanced audio properties into "monitor only (mute output)." If I leave it in "monitor off" (like yours in the video), that's when the echoing happens. Is this good? or am I doing something wrong?

[@TeeChu]

Hey! No worries - hmm that's a tricky one, usually it means there's another source playing somewhere (e.g. out of a TV at the same time etc) I would try setting the monitoring device to headphones and trying that way, ensuring that any other source is off (e.g. TV volume down low) - if your audio output is too close to your mic it may also cause a bit of echo too!

[@TeeChu]

Also ensure you don't have your stream open etc in any tabs just incase!

[@enumaelish85]

@@TeeChu ill try it out. Thank you

[@enumaelish85]

@@TeeChu I think I discovered the problem. I stream directly from my switch, Switch > capture card > OBS. I don't have a TV in between. Although I already muted my browser stream, I can still hear it - the doubling / echo of my audio. Reading around in the OBS forums, I think the problem is OBS detects 2 audio sources - the capture card and my desktop. So when I turn my Audio Desktop setting to "monitor only (mute output)" all sounds my stream picks up is the one from the capture card. I hope I thought right though...

[@TeeChu]

Ah! Gotcha - that makes sense - essentially ya, you should only have the one source and you're right, the desktop one I assume it's also looping through!

[@spoopyperson]

2:22 when i select the Usb video, i cant see my switch screen, instead i see stripes of colors. any help on that?

[@TeeChu]

Hey! So that means the card is connected *but* there's no signal coming in from your console normally - Change USB port, possibly the card isn't getting enough power - Make sure if your card is a USB3 that it's connected to a USB3 port (normally it's blue) - Make sure the HDMI from the console is properly connected and the Switch is docked correctly/not loose Close OBS whilst reconnecting!

[@spoopyperson]

@@TeeChu ive tried all solutions, but none of them helped any other ideas?

[@TeeChu]

@@spoopyperson Not too sure to be honest - perhaps check if the card needs any additional drivers/software really, or reach out to the manufacturer!

[@M1551NGN0]

​@@TeeChudoes the switch need to be docked for this?

[@TeeChu]

@@M1551NGN0 Yep - you need to dock your Switch as the capture card needs to capture footage via HDMI.

[@AmAz1nJ]

Had quite a time originally setting this up for switch, think i used a different method but found this video and it explains everything simplified and the audio is the trickiest part! One issue I don't think was mentioned is you need to use the proprietary usb C power adapter into the nintendo switch dock. I tried using other power sources for it (even stronger ones) and they would just give black screen (yet plugging into my usb c phone for example the capture card picked it up). Perhaps that's just my card. But thanks so much!

[@TeeChu]

No problems! That's a great shout and hopefully will help people in the same boat One thing I've learnt with Nintendo is always try to go proprietary as Nintendo, well, Nintendoes! I remember the power supply being an issue or something at launch with the Switch? Seems to ring a bell!

[@jessicarogers2389]

This was very informative as I've spent so long trying to figure out how to record switch videos whilst viewing on TV screen. I now realise I needed a hdmi splitter.

[@TeeChu]

No problem Jessica! Happy to help!

[@jessicarogers2389]

@TeeChu I'm having problems with the recording lagging. Could this be something yo do with the minecraft game on switch?

[@TeeChu]

@@jessicarogers2389 Hmm, tricky! Do you mean it comes out laggy / choppy in the recorded video file or are you streaming? Either way it's likely due to your card or settings I would check a few things: - If your card is USB3, make sure it's plugged into a USB3 port (often but not alway blue) - Try a different USB port in general - e.g. if plugged into the front of your PC currently, try the back etc. - Another thing to try is scale down your video slightly - go into Settings --> Video and reduce the resolution from 1920x1080 to something like 1280x720 and try re-recording. Quality won't be as super-crispy but you may get a better frame rate and overall quality! - If you're recording to your PC - make sure as many other apps as possible are closed as OBS can be pretty demanding! I would go into settings --> output --> output mode (change to Advanced) --> then go into the "recording" tab. From here try experiment with some of the settings - e.g. Rate Control, CPU usage etc. It's fiddly! I would recommend looking up other videos on "OBS Rate control" and "OBS recording settings" as I'm not 100% clued up on that myself - I use the following settings myself but can/does differ depending on setup: - Rate Control: CRF - CRF = 23 - Keyframe = 0 - CPU Usage Preset = superfast - Profile = high - Tune = none

[@TeeChu]

Hi guys! Ya sure thing - so the easiest approach is to just add the capture card source, ignore the webcam / microphone / Twitch steps So essentially you'll have your gameplay video/audio as sources and that's it Then instead of streaming, hit Start Recording :) That will start recording a video to your Videos folder (you can change the folder if needed in settings) The default format is .mkv files for recordings - to convert to mp4 go to File --> Remux Recordings in OBS once finished recording, select your recordings and convert :) You can then upload these mp4 files or use them in your favourite video editor Great choice of games!

What is the latency like with this? Will I need to add a delay to my microphone ??

[@TeeChu]

It depends very much on your hardware (both PC/laptop) and capture card - in general most do have a little bit of latency - audio can be tweaked slightly and as for video I always recommend watching the gameplay direct from console if possible. If the capture card doesn't support video output (e.g. has a separate HDMI output), I would recommend trying an HDMI splitter - this way you can play on a second screen/TV and capture too :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqG0pWqKf514mtk

[@TeeChu]

Hi Terry, weird! What do you get listed in the devices list in OBS? I know you've tried different USB ports, but a few things to check: 1) If the card is USB3, you need to use a USB3 port (often they are blue) to power it (worth checking) 2) Try going into Windows --> Settings --> Camera Privacy and make sure OBS can access the camera. Technically the capture card isn't a camera, but maybe classed as one by Windows 3) Double check all the cables from the dock/console into the capture card

[@TerryManiac]

​@@TeeChu Hi and thanks for your answer. I dont get ANY device listed in that dropdown menu, thats why i am so confused. Yes, i am using usb3 port. and the device has been agnowledged from win11, at least it says there is an USB3-Capture device under the audio devices. Scratch it. While writing the next sentence i tried your second solution, meaning > Camera was off in my whole system, once i activated it > seems like its working. So yeah, that (hopefully) did it :) Thanks! (Maybe this will help other win11 user, dont turn off your cam completely!) Now i only need to look for the sound settings :D

[@TeeChu]

Awesome! Glad you got it to work in the end - sound should hopefully work in a similar way, too! If not - make sure no headphones are plugged into the Switch!

[@ADSReflex]

love the audio explanation really helped me THANK YOU!

[@TeeChu]

No worries at all! Audio with OBS is such a pain haha

[@sarahthetrisarahtops]

Awesome video, now I can finally live my dream of playing animal crossing behind my pc! I had issues trying to set up my capture card at first, but this video made it so simple i feel silly for having any issues at all!

[@TeeChu]

Awesome! No worries! Glad you got it all setup - it is totally fiddly!

[@ChaoticFaze]

One of the best tutorials i have seen very easy to understand, this will help so much wen i get a capture card. Thank you so much!!!

[@TeeChu]

No worries! Sushi is great too haha

[@supermarioscavengers3445]

My obs isn’t showing in the video output device drop down

[@boogeybeats5747]

Thanks man so easy to follow, I had to switch to the actual HDMI 1/2 thats recording and then go back to OBS to hear my video, and mute the desktop audio to stop the echo. But great video i thought I was lost forever lol.

[@TeeChu]

No worries! Ya sound and especially echo can be such a pain!

[@boogeybeats5747]

@@TeeChu took me 2 whole days I tried other channels but they were just not helping 30 minutes wasted and no time stamps lol

[@cryptorrr]

2:22 I am having trouble getting this screen to appear, it does not let me choose my preferred capture card device (I am using a HD60S+ to try and stream my Nintendo Switch) What can I do to get that to appear? Or what am I doing wrong here? Is OBS Studio not picking up the capture card device? I've already tried closing in and out of OBS and turning my switch on first to see if that was the issue, but no dice...

[@TeeChu]

Hey! Weird - you should have "Elgato Game Capture HD" in that list - you may need to install some of the Elgato software though!

[@cryptorrr]

@@TeeChu Thanks for the tip, I'll look around and see what I can find, thanks again!

[@Caitxo]

I am horrible with stuff like this so I appreciate this video so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@TeeChu]

No problem at all! It is super fiddly and tricky to setup for sure!

[@AngelicSoulEntertainment]

[@ace_bal]

For the love of God I couldn't get it to work, until I saw your video. You saved my day.

[@TeeChu]

Glad to help Nick! :) Good luck and happy streamin'!

[@BeardieBroadcast]

Can i do it on phone? I dont have a laptop and im not sure if i could do it with my phone.

[@TeeChu]

Not that I know of, unfortunately! I guess a low-budget way could be using your phone camera to capture gameplay footage from your TV via the Twitch app, or something like that See how it goes and possibly look to grab a laptop or PC in the future! It'a a shame the Switch doesn't allow you to stream directly from the console

[@woohoo9584]

Tysm for helping me get started with streaming! Everything was straightforward and it really worked out for me!! Im a bit nervous but i cant wait to do my 1st ever stream this weekend 🤩

[@TeeChu]

No worries at all, great to hear it and good luck with your stream debut!

[@woohoo9584]

@TeeChu thank you again!! 🥹

[@mikeallen964]

this was a great help i just started posting videos on youtube and i've been trying to figure out how to use the audio for my switch and my mic at the same time this video help quite a bit thanks.

[@TeeChu]

That's awesome! Good luck with your KZbin journey Mike!

[@acfvisuals8054]

Hi, what if I have every connection plugged in but by sources / devices, "USB Video" doesn't show up?

[@TeeChu]

Hmm - depending on the make of USB capture card it could be listed as something, else, what comes up when you select Video Capture Device? Also it might be your PC/laptop not having enough power for the capture card - I would try disconnecting other USB devices and just testing with the capture card and see!

[@TheCanadianImp]

So how do i play on my tv screen while the switch's HDMI cable is busy? Or am i just dumb?

[@TeeChu]

Hey! No worries it is confusing - so by default you would play through obs - if you want to use your tv too (which is recommended to avoid lag) then have a look at this tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqG0pWqKf514mtk

[@themanicman15]

Thank you so much I have been trying for so long and this was one of the only simple videos on how to set it up
