Find the video capturing device in that list; 2. Click it right button; 3. Choose "Advanced audio settings"; 4. Find it again, and near audio choose "Listening and streaming" (my OBS is russian so I could translate wrongly, do not take it seriously please❤)

Great video. I just started using OSB and also recording Switch gameplay. I found that if you right click on your game play video screen in OSB, it gives you the option of viewing it in full screen mode on your computer while recording. For the lesser demanding games, it gives you excellent gameplay without having to use the more expensive Elgato capture cards and another monitor. Thanks for taking the time to share what you are doing, it is very helpful.

A better way is to connect the switch on a smart tv,install on tv a recorder app and share to ur phone/pc/tablet.

@DaveNodon

Жыл бұрын

Never thought of that! I guess to get set up there you’d need to make sure you have a smart tv, are able to easily install apps that can record the entire screen, then rigging it all together, and making sure the quality was good. It might be a little convoluted for most people who want to get into it, but if you already have it all set up then it would be a good idea to try it out.

0:52 you can also go to settings, data management, manage screenshots and videos, and select copy to pc via usb connection (i use my laptop). this is what i do for my switch lite (at least until my HDMI to usbc cable arrives that i can use with my capture card.). i then copy the videos / clips to a new folder and then put them into adobe video merger online. sometimes a clip corrupts and goes pink after merging. what i do here is i disconnect the switch and usbc and try again. this works like 99% of the time

Get an hdmi splitter!

Instead of the expensine capture card you can just use and hdmi splitter it cost 10 dollars and in Kombination with cheap card you have ruffly the same latency

@DaveNodon

There are ways to tamp down your OBS settings to work better with slower systems. Especially if you have an HDMI splitter card and play on another monitor, then you don’t have to worry about latency at all. I wouldn’t say it has to be crazy powerful, you could probably get away with 8GB RAM, ideally some kind of dedicated graphics card, an i5. You most likely need to stay away from the entry level integrated graphics style HP laptops etc. to get a decent recording/stream going.

I know! I tried it on apex legends and on L.A Noire so it seems sometimes it’s for content and sometimes I can’t really tell why 🤷‍♂️ frustrating I’m sure part of it is that certain games probably don’t give the switch enough power to be constantly recording in the background for the feature to work.

You would need to make sure you connect a mic as an extra audio input. It would be another input on OBS similar to how you created one for the switch audio!

@DaveNodon

Жыл бұрын

I take my gameplay video and bring it into a video editor. The editor will usually then let you record your mic input as another audio track. Then you need to mix them together. Some video editing software will do that for you it’s called “ducking”. If you’re recording your mic live while playing then you can create another audio source in OBS and select your mic but you can also just record from your mic from another app then you can have the two audio files separate which is better in case you make mistakes.

@DaveNodon

Жыл бұрын

The simple cheaper cards will only send a usb signal to your computer so you’d only be able to watch the gameplay there. The more expensive pass-through cards split your signal into two. That way one end goes to your computer and one end goes to your tv. Another potential solution is; but I think it’s trickier - to buy an HDMI splitter that splits your hdmi into two, and then use a cheaper capture card on one of them. Then you’d have the other one for your tv.

Thank you I didn't know I could transfer like thisss that's very helpful for me ^__^

Do you need a decent computer when it comes to recording switch gameplay on OBS? I'm guessing a £300 laptop with basic software won't cut it?

@DaveNodon

Жыл бұрын

It depends. OBS Studio itself is very lightweight. The settings you can record at will be restricted by the hardware But honestly the switch itself records at a low quality 720p resolution so you’d probably be able to at least match its quality plus the benefit of not having to record everything in tiny clips and painstakingly send them to a device to edit. You might have latency that makes it harder to play though especially if it’s a quick paced game though so that’s also something to think about

Trial and error till you find the bug. I would check the following things, Double check that you picked the right audio input for OBS in the scene , that the correct card is selected. Then check to see if the audio bar the green/yellow/red bar in the bottom center is moving, if it is then audio should be coming in. I’d also try recording something and listening to it back to see if it was really muted. If it plays in playback mode, but not while recording then you need to turn “audio monitoring” on. Finally, check anything that could be causing issues like making sure there are no headphones plugged into the switch and make sure all the audio drivers on computer are updated and working.
