The advice to build it up slowly is EXCELLENT advice, as it allows you to also make intelligent purchases that are geared for *your* needs. You can afford to make a few bad choices when it's in the realm of $50-$150 for ill-fitting gear instead of $400++. :)
Nintendo really needs to catch up to be livestreaming-friendly. You'd think a company who's killing it financially would implement features that other game companies have long established.
I mean Nintendo has always been a bit behind when it comes to online capabilities. I mean you just have to look at how bad playing Smash Bros online is to see they don't put online capabilities as a high priority.
Nintendo has banked so much money that they can run a deficit of $200mil for like 30 years. They'll only do something if it's a new gimmick, saves face or someone really high up wants to do it.
I just want to play my switch on pc and be able to alt tab without spending too much... I just like making my life complicated by trying to make it simpler. I wanna hear both sources too at the same time.
@Parker Family I’m not sure if you’re commenting on the price of the equipment in the video or misunderstanding what I said. ‘Best how to stream for beginners’ in case that was the misunderstanding. As for the price of the equipment it’s not like you have to have this starting out, a computer is More expensive anyway???
Awesome video man! You're one of few TH-camrs I know that explains everything so clearly and is so genuinely excited about the stuff you show (especially switch stuff heheh) :) I've been wanting to buy a capture card for quite some time now, and now I know everything I need to know! Much love from the Netherlands!
Honestly this was extremely helpful but so damn expensive too. Nintendo should just make an official switch capture card to save everyone a lot of stress
This is actually really helpful. I'm a low-budget gamer who over a few years has accumulated an Audio Techica AT2020 mic with a small mixer for it, and HP Pavilion laptop, OBS, and a couple other things, but now, streaming and recording seems to be within my reach, and while it might not work how I want it to, going forward with this knowledge will definitely help. Thank you.
Thank you. I searched through a lot of haystacks to find this needle. Sharp and to the point is what you are. I now know what equipment I need (definitely the stuff from the start... newbie that I am) and feel like I gained some good basic knowledge on streaming a game. This was SUB worthy!
exactly. this makes PS4 and XBOX even more amazing on a technical standpoint. imagine consoles can record or livestream natively. no stupid shenanigans and added cost.
When he said take it slowly that’s good because you can see where your at, if you want to go further instead of purchasing a bunch of stuff just to find out you don’t need it
This is the first video that I can understand when it comes to beginner level streaming. I've been wondering how I could stream and just play on the big tv while sitting on my couch, instead of sitting with 2 monitors behind my desk. Now I also wonder, is it better to have a laptop near for the chat or are there any other tricks and tips u can use while strating to stream?
I thought this’d be a good buy, then I checked the price. I just want to make a meme every once and a while out of cool smash clips. I ain’t got no money for that!
I just got one for Christmas. Finally! I can record more than 30fucking seconds! XD Edit: just found out that not only do I need an elgato to record... but I need an actual good computer that can handle this shit. 😭😭
Dude! You save my life! I accidentally saw your video and I’m ENLIGHTEN! I’m currently living in Japan and saving money to buy those elgato gadgets because I’m planning to stream when i go back to Philippines! Thank you so much!
5:04 you can actually avoid plugging headphones into any other device besides the computer with the Elgato software (or OBS). Elgato software (Game Capture HD) allows audio passthrough from the device, just increase the volume under "game audio". OBS you go to advance audio settings and set the Elgato to listen and output and it allows you to do both
Great vid I’ve been streaming from my Xbox and ps4 and have been wanting to stream from my switch fr a little while now! Hopefully I can build a pc soon and get the gear I need this helped me figure out what I need!
One more important thing I didn’t know about is that you need to link your stream key from the streaming platform of your choice to the program you stream with. Sometimes the programs simply let you just log into your streaming platform account, but stream keys are pretty standard. You shouldn’t share your stream key with anyone or else they will be able to stream on your account.
Bought this because of this video. I've been trying to find a good piece of hardware to use to stream my Switch gameplay. I highly recommend. Easy to use. Simple to set up. Good job El Gato.
Holy cow, thank you. Very informative, concise video, I feel like I can finally get started making Switch content. I blows my mind that no one else could make it all this easy to understand, thank you!
I love the elgato HD60 S. It takes so much stress off of my PC as I'm recording and Instant Gameplay is incredible. Thanks so much for the video. I followed it step by step and got to recording switch gameplay in no time.
Dude your video is the best for helping setting this up for some reason other people do a poor job on what input goes to which location you earned my like and sub.
I can vouch for Elgato...I love my HD60S :D It's how I recorded my Breath of the Wild streams last year. PS: Need an Elgato 4K...but have fun dishing out the 400 bucks for it o_o
AMAZING guide! Seriously! I'm looking to stream on my channel and this certainly helped me so much. That elgato is goated. This video is goated. Awesome work!
Oh man, thank you so much for mentioning playing audio through the computer. I was looking into what capture card I should get, and one the biggest things I had trouble finding information about was being able to voice chat through discord while streaming/recording gameplay.
I'm getting absolutely no game audio, no detectable headset, even though I've plugged it into my monitor and my computer and the capture card itself. This is the most FRUSTRATING thing to try and figure out.
Bob I did the $5 subscription thing and linked my discord and TH-cam accounts both through the link you provided, and through discord, but I still don't see the supporter chat. What should I do?
@@WulffDen hey umm what if I want to listen to my game and talk to both stream and my friends on my game while streaming on my switch?, and I'm a beginner for streaming
This helped a lot because I want to start streaming gameplay with audio and I didn’t know how to get the right capture card or microphone to stream it was a mess
This is the first video that mentions a mac! thank you! I have a MacBook, no PCs at all, and this has been helpful. So I can use this setup with my Macbook and my smart TV with my switch and stream?
whenever someone asks me during a stream how i stream from my switch, i'm just going to link think video.

Tbh Nintendo needs to catch up with a lot of stuff but they probably care more about games then the *e x p e r i e n c e*
Nintendo has banked so much money that they can run a deficit of $200mil for like 30 years. They'll only do something if it's a new gimmick, saves face or someone really high up wants to do it.
tbh if they did do all of that then they'd be more rich because a lot of youtubers use nintendo switch
@@marginalmeaning a bit behind , i swear nintendo does some dumb shit they (on some things) are MILES behind.
Me: Sees the Elgato on Amazon
*Also me*: I'm never gonna financially recover from this.
Buy it from argos. It's much more affordable there
I'll check it thanks.

I *could* afford it, i just don't feel like it's worth the money, I'm completely fine with a cheap crapture card that only records up to 720p

Why does everything on Nintendo Switch need money :(
Teo In Action everything costs money in life
Because its Nintendo man
true
Nintendo lives in the 2008
The Nintendo switch was free but with a tax of 299.99
I like seeing behind the scenes kind of stuff. Pretty cool.
