seriously so happy that I found your channel ! I appreciate how you get right into it without the crazy loud music and alarming loud greetings that I have seen on these tech videos, very very sensor friendly ! I like that.
Hey I know it’s been 2 years, but do you know what is the best website to buy the capture card in the video. The link in the description doesn’t work. Did you happen to use a different brand?
i dont normally like or comment on videos but this actually worked! i have a 2021 mac with only the usb-c ports, so i luckily found a capture card that goes from hdmi to usb-c (it also came with its own usb to usb-c adapter too) works like a charm! the video quality is not 100% my favorite compared to a tv, or literally anything else i do on my mac, but i think thats just preference. the tutorial was simple and straight forward, the only thing that tripped me up was obs demanding for a streamer key and such, but i got around it by just closing and opening the app again.
I just bought a very similar USB-C Video Capture device for my switch also, I spent the last 30 minutes just trying to get OBS to recognize the device and then I watched your video and it was exactly what I needed!! Thank you! Very easy to follow and straightforward and still at a good pace to pause and follow along with the instructions myself. Thank You!!
The USB-C cord is not showing up as an input option in my sound settings, and I can't seem to find a way to get my Mac to identify the USB-C as an option. Do you have any advice for anything I can try? I've already restarted my Mac with the USB-C plugged in to try and get it to recognize it's external connection but no luck.
I'm having the same issue now even though I was able to get it to work the first time. I haven't changed anything but it doesn't show up as a source anymore :(
Thank you so much buddy. I can´t succeed to run my switch on my smart Samsung TV, and I was so frustrated. At least I can play on my PC monitor thanks to you
@@tobyjackson9715 I also have a m1 mac. So I have a few questions, is like the delay alot??? or like how long is the delay. Is it noticeable???and if you fullscreen it does the resolution look bad? and what is your fps, is it like 4K 60?
@@IAmDaPlane hi, so the lag really isn’t noticeable at all. The only time it’s ever so slightly different is when I’ve immediately switched from my Xbox, by which point going from 120fps on a monitor to a 30fps is different, but it’s still very playable. The resolution is capped at 1080p just because the software hasn’t been optimised for Mac yet, but it might happen in the future. The resolution looks great for a switch, because the games are made to be played on a lower res, but on a different console it does look a bit pixelated on full screen. Overall though, it’s definitely worth getting, Hope that helps :)
@@tobyjackson9715 hei. I have new imac. When j click On video spurce adding- it only offers imac camera or imac micropho e. What did u do for u mac to recognise it.
Followed your vid, and the solution is brilliant, it works pretty well, but I have a 4k iMac 2017, and making it fulscreen is a bad idea for me, since it looks noticeably low res. Thank you so much! Just leaving it here for the people who have the same display.
maybe im stupid but i somehow cant open the fullscreen projector (i mean i right click but it doesn’t seem to work) is there any other options how i can open it? (im so sorry)
with this set up will you be able to alt tab and do other things and then tab right back? I only have one monitor and it's kind of a pain doing discord and playing on the switch at the same time.
There is definitely a delay. This is just the easiest and cheapest option. I think the lag is acceptable if you're just playing some single player games.
Hi thanks for such a great video, one question I can't seem to go full screen. Everything else works like you have showed but just not the full screen. I have the newest Apple imac M1. Please reply 🙏 thanks
Right click with mouse and it should pop up. I tried with my MacBook using the pad on the laptop but it did not work. I connected my mouse and right clicked and it worked.
Hi! i bought this from your link and it works great! I'm just wondering, would I be able to cast my switch onto my TV then use this from my TV to my macbook for streaming? do you know if that's possible? So far when I tried it, its not working but have you tried?
I can only get everything to work for one day, then when I open OBS the next day, the audio doesn't work. I have to restart my computer for the switch audio to work again. Any fixes?
I did the exact same thing as you. just that when I play and try to move my character it gets laggy and it doesn’t correspond to my remote if that makes sense :( if you experienced this pls help 🙏🏻
Hi! Thanks for the tutorial. I just ordered one of these, but it's not the same brand. Trying to set up, but it doesn't have the option for 60fps. Max is 30fps. Is this the adaptor?
Why it's not working for me? I have a M1 Macbook Pro and I got Anker USB-C HDMI capture card, but when I go to settings for audio USB 3.0 doesn't pop up and same in the OBS, USB 3.0 doesn't pop up. Did I something wrong or what can I do to connect it to Macbook Pro so I can play on a big screen?
Does this work with the Streamlabs version of OBS? EDIT: No it doesn't. I experience super-lag and my fps settings go no higher than 30 even on 1080p output. What else have you got?
Since I am planning to use this capture card to play Fall guys from switch console, does it have any input latencies towards the M1 mac computer? Also, are there any good alternatives that have better performance with a good price? Thanks!
For turn back to the normal page do we press esc or we need to do something else and do we have to do everything again for get back on the nintendo screen
This was very helpful, thank you. How do you make the screen quality better on the Imac? For example, I have a little video line that moves up and down my screen when playing Nintendo switch. It's not the worse line but would be great if I can make the game run a bit smoother.
Hi, I have an M1 MacBook Air with an Amazon adapter with has usb and HDMI. Could i do this with the adapter? could i connect the dock HDMI to the adapter and use my mac as an monitor for my switch?
No, you can't use a typical USB-C to HDMI converter to do this. It must be a video capture. I just introduced an entry-level USB-C to HDMI video capture device which is really cheap.
What about to a MacBook Air M1 Chip? Also, how do you record the screen, Would love to record myself using my camera while playing and record the screen at the same time? How can that be done?
Idk where you are from and if Kmart exists there but I found a USB C to HDMI/USB cable there. I haven't found any people mention it but do you think it would work with switch?
It’s not just a normal USB-C to HDMI converter. Actually it should be a video capture. The video capture I showed in the video is the cheapest that I’m looking for but it works fine. And there is a better one called GENKI ShadowCast if you really need this kind of device to play console games(Switch, PS, XBOX) on your computer.
Hey love the tutorial But my device doesnt seem to be showing up in the audio input section. I got my HDMI to type-c from Kmart is that alright? and if yea how can if fix it thanks🥰
So like my Mac doesn’t have an hdmi on the back of it and I’m not quite understanding what to use either instead or even do with the back of my computer and where to plug it in

no your switch has to be docked. there is a way to just stream the video onto the mac‘s screen with only being on handheld mode, but you have to jailbreak your switch for that. I don‘t recommend jailbreaking your switch though.
It works. But the OBS app has higher requirements for computer performance. I haven’t tested a Mac with integrated graphics, so I’m not sure if the performance is good eough.

I try to use mi iMac as second screen for mi M1 Macbook Air. I bought the best video capture card I can get (Razer Ripsaw X 4k), the best usbc-hdmi and it works, but it isn't a "monitor" solution. Is just a projection with loss of quality, some lag and square pixels on circles. You cannot approach the full quality of the iMac screen with this solution.
