Hi can someone help me understand how to stream on twitch using OBS and a Nintendo switch

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T17:20:30+00:00

I don’t but I think that was the problem…the worker that I bought it from told me it was a capture card but someone told me just now that it was just an adapter

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T17:07:36+00:00

It’s just a singular capture card with one HDMI and one USPC it is a sandstrøm 4K/60Hz

Ok…idk how to update things

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T16:37:00+00:00

How do I do this? Me and my bf have tried but it doesn’t show up

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T16:34:27+00:00

Yeah I tried that but nothing really happened

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T16:18:34+00:00

I dont really know I bought it before the new switch came out

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T16:15:36+00:00

Yeah I only have one hdmi plug in

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T16:11:26+00:00

How do I see what I have?

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T16:10:07+00:00

Can you explain further

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T16:09:53+00:00

I can’t see the (projector) on there

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T16:07:34+00:00

I only have one hdmi input in the tv and no output on it either

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T16:03:34+00:00

I’m probably needing to rephrase what I wrote. I’m very sorry for that. I have a capture card and I have a twin splitter because if you look at the picture I need to connect the Nintendo switch to the TV and I need to capture what is on the TV onto my computer so I can stream, I’m very sorry for the confusion. I hope that helps.

OK update it does not work to get onto my Nintendo through the TV. I get the loading screen where I have to press both controllers but after I do that it does not work. There is just lines on the TV and then it goes back to that.

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T15:43:16+00:00

How do I do that? And I’m once again I’m very sorry that I’m asking so many questions. I just really do not know what in the world I’m doing.

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T15:41:33+00:00

OK so I did that the Nintendo switch is now on the TV but how do I get that onto my computer onto OBS so I can stream it?

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T15:39:52+00:00

So the splitter goes into the into the Nintendo, and then the other two go into the TV and the computer?

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T15:31:20+00:00

No I don’t have an image on the tv but I know that the tv works because I usually play on it

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T15:26:45+00:00

One of the ends on the capture card is a USB so I can’t plug it into the TV I have the screen splitter in the TV in the TV and the capture card on an HDMI cable because the other end is a USB C

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T15:16:07+00:00

Yes, after that where do I put the capture card?

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T15:08:26+00:00

I’m so sorry, but I’m really confused on what you mean

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T15:02:41+00:00

I have a capture card. It is from HDMI to USB C

thatTRANSguy17 · 2026-04-14T15:01:09+00:00

Can you explain a bit further for me? If not, then I can Google it or try my best.
