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.

What a delicate little flower you are. Time to toughen up
This was absolutely amazing, I just finished this tutorial and it was amazing, well made and easy to follow
OMFG THANK YOU THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR AND HOPING FOR
OMG THANK YOU!!!! I've been SEARCHING on how to fix this issue!!! You're a lifesaver!!!
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!!
Thanks For the video!!
Works with MacBook Pro M3 Pro 🤩 Thank you so much!!

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?
Thank you so much :)
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?
very helping man
Thank you so much!!!
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.
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)
Great video! Is this setting for video & audio recording while playing game?

@@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 :)

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.

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.

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.
