Let’s dive into how you can stream your Nintendo Switch gameplay directly to Discord, bypassing the need for a capture card.

Yes, You Can Stream Without a Capture Card!

The good news is, yes, you can stream your Nintendo Switch games on Discord without a capture card! This method involves a bit of setup, but once you’ve got it, you’ll be sharing your gaming moments in no time.

First, you’ll need a PC with Discord installed and your Nintendo Switch docked. You’ll also require a USB-C to HDMI adapter to connect your Switch to the PC. Software like OBS Studio will help capture the game footage and transmit it to Discord.

Setting Up for the Stream

Start by connecting your Switch’s USB-C port to the USB-C to HDMI adapter. Then, connect the HDMI end to your PC. Open OBS Studio or similar software and select the ‘Capture Specific Window’ option, choosing your Switch’s output. Finally, on Discord, start a ‘Go Live’ stream in your chosen server or direct message, selecting OBS as your source.

Adjust the stream quality based on your internet speed to ensure a smooth viewing experience for your audience. Remember, the setup might seem complex at first, but it gets easier with practice!
