Have been using this with my Macbook using OBS and I knew I could do this with iPad too but it was really missing a software. Glad we finally have an app for it. Will test this out as I already have HDMI dongle
Just a quick note, you have to use the power adapter that came with the console or you’ll get an error message saying “use AC power adapter that came with console” only sharing cause it happened with me when I was trying to connect my switch. Other than that everything else in this video is legit and helpful
Watched 20+ of these exact same videos...all say the same thing...NONE tell you that Capture Pro is no longer available , due to all beta tester slots being taken. :-(
@@Cyrus_got_verified in order for Nintendo to block this they would have to block video out and that makes the dock pointless. Apple and Nintendo do weird things but neither of them care what monitor you use
This is GREAT INFO and will help a number of people in certain situations and won’t for others. The tech is there and thanks, Dan, for showing us how it all works!
Sooooo, idk if you care anymore since you comment this, but the app IS officially on the App Store and it’s called “Genki Studio.” Same app developer with same features. Hope this helps
BIG thank you for this info. The iOS app, Genki Studio works perfect with my Genki ShadowCast Capture Card and Genki Covert Dock Mini. Now I can play my Switch on my iPad Pro M2, paired with my Apple Magic Keyboard. Followed your instructions and works perfect.
This is great. I am sure someone like small rig will come out with an iPad case that has a capture card built in and then use this as a camera monitor. Just like the seemo thing
You are not explaining the app part very well. TestFlight ok, got it but what about the part where we have to receive an invitation from a developer ? The app is asking for a code to continue, which one ?
Thank you!! I just got a switch and I’m traveling for the next five weeks and it can’t dock to the hotel tv per their policy. I am glad I have an option to use my iPad, thank you again!
😆🙃😆🙃😁 the hotels that try this crap crack me up. And then I hook up anyway. I want my own tv with my firestick tyvm. Take a photo before you start so you can return everything back to how it was and they will never know.
Sony actually has an app for the PS4/PS5 that lets you stream and play your games anywhere via the Internet to your iPad, iPhone, PC, etc. However it can be laggy.
This would be more useful for something like the Xbox Series S than the Switch that already has a screen lol

It’s not just the larger display. With this setup, the Switch runs in docked mode, which has more power, so the games look better. Some games are almost unplayable in handheld mode due to the low resolution, so for those games this setup is a pretty good portable solution.
Perhaps, but, honestly... I have my switch on the go and my iPad on the go but I really feel like the Switch's screen is too small so... This may be a reasonably option for me in a mobile situation. I'm not likely to haul my full sized console around and I can't plug that console in easily on the go even if I did. So I an def see some uses for this.
The Switch does already have a screen, but it sucks in comparison to the iPad screen. This also allows the Switch to run in docked mode, allowing for better performance and a better-looking game overall. This is just better.
Have you tried it yourself? I am still wondering about the input lag, which could kill the usefulness of this for most gaming if it's too bad. Gaming isn't the only thing one could use this for though. External display for a camera, second monitor to your non-Mac computer, or main for Steam Deck's desktop mode or a Raspberry Pi!
Hi there! I really appreciate this. However, my iPad has a lightning port. I want to connect my switch so I’m using an adapter that fits, but how do I get the app? I can't seem to find it and when I try to get the beta app it asks me for a code? I don't know what's going on so if you know I'm really curious why this is happening. Again, thank you for this video, you earned a new subscriber!
Question! While the iPad is connected to the Nintendo system, does it charge the iPad? I ask because of the iPad battery life. It’s good! But then I can’t charge iPad while playing. Thank you 🙏 😊
This is amazing once I can I would ask for the lil dock add on and attach to my iPad then I can begin with playing I just have to know which app to get so I can use it
This is great! I’m on vacation at a beach house right now. There’s only a couple TVs and neither are in my room. I HATE using the Switch baby screen. Can’t see anything. Got my iPad Pro downloading IOS 17 right now!
Does any hdmi to type c work? Or doesn’t the cable need to have a specific feature that will surely work on iPad? Because I see some cheap options although I don’t know if they will work
Any other apps available right now? I was planningto get a video capture card for this same reason but i cant get the beta for Capture Pro. Any help would be apreciated or even a release date for Capture Pro
Newbie question - Do you know if all games for Nintendo Switch require a Nintendo online membership? Are the games like iPhone games where to move forward you have "In-app purchases?" I miss the times when you buy a game and can play a FULL Game through without a subscription or in-app purchases.
Hello! You don’t need an online membership to play the games. But keep in mind that you can’t play with other people (unless you use local play) and you can’t access the emulators for SNES,NES,Gameboy. If you have the more expensive version you have access to more old games on your Switch and you get the DLCs for Animal Crossing etc. And some games have in-app-purchases. Free to play games like Fortnite have them. You can also buy DLCs for several games: BOTW,ACNH,MarioKart8 etc. You don’t need them. The normal membership costs 20EUR (I’m not sure if it is the same elsewhere) and Online + expansion pack costs double. But you don’t need that, but for games like Mario Wonder it is great to have the other people there to help you, or in MarioKart where you can play with people all over the world.
@@Alex88759 I'd like to play all the old classics like Super Mario Bros, Raiden, Punch Out, Galaga, Dig Dug, Contra... etc. which I've seen as Digital Downloads. If I have the most expensive Switch I can easily download and play those? Thanks so much. I'm getting really nostalgic. LOL..
I've been looking for a way to play horror games without having my wife and my 4 year old appearing all of the sudden on the living room just in time for the worst scenes lol. The thing is I play mostly on ps5, perhaps I could get a wireless hdmi to hdmi and then run that through the capture device into the ipad, but that sounds like a lot of input lag for bloodborne or RE8.
If I buy Ugreen Video Capture Card Type C Collector HDMI to USB + USB C for Monitor Laptop/SLR Camera Live Streaming Monitoring Recording Model: 40189, will it work?
Tried using this set up with the same dongle from amazon and a usb-c to hdmi cable as well with my switch and just getting color lines as output on my iPad. Any advice? I am on IPadOS 17 and using the new app from the developer
This dongle does that when the signal comes on or goes off. If you simply unplug the hdmi cable and plug it back into the dongle it’s fixed. (At least my unit which has the same issue)
Have been using this with my Macbook using OBS and I knew I could do this with iPad too but it was really missing a software. Glad we finally have an app for it. Will test this out as I already have HDMI dongle
Which app pls tell me!

yeah switch only supports docked mode with external power
I’ve used this for setting up a Raspberry Pi, and for manual focus on a DSLR.
What kind of capture card brand are you using if you don't mind sharing. I'm actually looking high quality capture card to connect Raspberry Pi too.
Watched 20+ of these exact same videos...all say the same thing...NONE tell you that Capture Pro is no longer available , due to all beta tester slots being taken. :-(
I found an app called HDMI Monitor - Orion which works the same way and isn't a silly beta. Give that a try.
I feel like Apple will find a way to block this.
I don’t think so. They added support for this because of external cameras and webcams so they basically are encouraging it to be used as a monitor
What?! 😂😂😂
Nintendo: _You said?_
Or nintendo
@@Cyrus_got_verified in order for Nintendo to block this they would have to block video out and that makes the dock pointless. Apple and Nintendo do weird things but neither of them care what monitor you use

Yeah
BIG thank you for this info.
The iOS app, Genki Studio works perfect with my Genki ShadowCast Capture Card and Genki Covert Dock Mini. Now I can play my Switch on my iPad Pro M2, paired with my Apple Magic Keyboard.
Followed your instructions and works perfect.
Seems rad. would love to use this to have my ipad as an external edit display. Given the workflow, seems like it should work!
It is saying "This beta is full" for the testflight, are there any other apps to try on iOS 17 devices?
Is a video capture card different than an HDMI to USB-C cable?
Thank you for this. Is there any chance of a link to your Magic Keyboard? I did some looking, but they come is a wide variety of prices 😊
This is great. I am sure someone like small rig will come out with an iPad case that has a capture card built in and then use this as a camera monitor. Just like the seemo thing
Pretty cool to use the mini-led on switch games (speaking of the regular switch, not the oled).
is there any other app that works similar to Capture Pro? it says the beta is full 😭😭
DAM THE BETA IS FULL
Does this mean it’s possible to capture video from your iPad for content creation?
You are not explaining the app part very well. TestFlight ok, got it but what about the part where we have to receive an invitation from a developer ? The app is asking for a code to continue, which one ?
I had the same problem 😢
Could the latency be from the dongle? Maybe a high end dongle will cause less latency/lag?
Yes! capture cards cause some latency, I don't think higher ends Change much, if anything
ive been looking for a way to use my ipad as a windows second monitor when its on my desk and this is the easist solution i couldve imagined lol
Now that iPad and iOS 18 beta is here there’s many apps for that like Orion HDMI and stuff

Oh I'll be using that! For my bed mount its easy to just keep the iPad and connect the switch. Thank you!!
That’s pretty cool idea , would be cool with a wireless hdmi if there was not much added delay with that
Sony actually has an app for the PS4/PS5 that lets you stream and play your games anywhere via the Internet to your iPad, iPhone, PC, etc. However it can be laggy.
Can newer MacBooks do this?
ANY device with USB-C can do this.
It doesn’t need to be only game consoles
It can also be TV boxes

Nope, that screen sucks, and an iPad would help
@MacRumors The TestFlight BETA is full as it says on the website. Any other apps or alternatives to this?
Orion
PS4 and screen share works doesn’t it already for awhile now?
Input lag kills this as an option pretty quick. I don't really get people that can pretend input lag is ever acceptable. Cool as a last resort though.

the latency is not tolerable, even on my M1 macbook pro.
I’ve been using the Magic Keyboard for a couple of months and I just found out you can charge your iPad from it oh my god thank you so much
Is this working on a litghtning port too? (with the right adaptors)
That means... we can hook up the camera and use these as external displays? That would be phenomenal
yes, if the camera sends the video signal as UVC
Nintendo and Apple running to the closest lawyer buffet to sue you.
If ipad could become an external monitor. It is such an ultimate tablet
For Mac you can use sidecar as an external monitor
I saw DURRY on your mix, they are my fav band and I have seen them live 4 times
I wonder if you could plug in a Steam Deck directly into the iPad via a USB-C cable. Can anyone test this out who has the hardware for it?
I don't THINK it does. Every mention of this feature requires the capture card.

I downloaded and ran the test flight and I get a notification to enter the developer invitation code
Me too, I’m confused as well…
Does this work with non M1 iPads (have a pro 2020)
Great question, i want to know this too. Im still rocking the 2019 😅
it should if it has USB C... but I havent tested it

Thanks for the review. There is slight latency when I plug my ps5 or pc to an ipad pro. But it gets worse on 1st shooters.
I would like to inquire about other brands of capture cards that are Does the type work the same as the application you said?
they are all mostly the same since they are manufactured in china and just relabeled
Hi! You can share your controller? I want buy this. 🙏
So we can record our gameplay with this way right?
Hi! Does it work with a M1 MacBook Air? Thanks!!
Does that mean this capture card will work for a Mac too with the appropriate app? What app would that be..

Very cool idea. Looking forward to this

Does this work on the iPad airs or only the pros?
On ANY device with USB-C, only. Find out what model you have and search up if it has a USB-C port.
xScreen got me covered for Xbox but this will be great for PS5 on the go.
Finally i can bring my switch on the go! /s
very original & funny
