video games streaming is huge and it's
actually pretty easy to you just drive
your computer hook it up to a streaming
service boot up your game have a mic and
maybe a little webcam and you're on your
way to twitch stardom
what if you want to stream games from
something that isn't your computer for
example a Nintendo switch Zelda Mario
Kart yeah that seems right okay the
things you'll need are a switch and it's
dock a capture card in this case I'm
using the Razer ripsaw you can check it
out at the link below PC that you can
connect to the internet to stream from
an external monitor a TV to see what you
are playing first we need to set up the
Nintendo switch to stream to do that
we're going to connect the dock to a
power source and pop our switch into it
then we plug in the docks HDMI cable to
the capture cards HDMI in take the RIP
saws HDMI cable or whatever capture card
using and plug that into an external
monitor or TV then we can take the USB
cable from the ripsaw and plug that into
our computer now if using the rip saw
you need to download install the Razer
synapse program and make sure that it
can see the ripsaw and the light on the
ripsaw turns green then we can download
open broadcaster studio from their site
it's a free open-source live streaming
platform that you can use so it's highly
recommended a lot of people use it once
its installed though we can open it and
then under sources we're going to right
click and hit add video capture device
we're going to click create new and name
it whatever you want in this case I'm
gonna name it rip saw and then under the
device drop-down that'll show up next
you're gonna select razor
ripsaw then you can turn on your intend
to switch open the game you want to
stream and if in OBS you don't see an
image on the screen you just go and
change the resolution fps type to custom
and then set the resolution to 1920 by
1080 and the frame rate to 60 and after
that you should be able to see your game
on the computer monitor and on your
TV or other monetary we're using now we
just need to decide where we want to
stream it to I'm going to show you the
three most popular options starting with
twitch so first we're gonna go to
twitch.tv and login if you don't have an
account obviously sign up for one
then you're gonna head to your dashboard
by clicking on your name at the top
right and clicking dashboard then we can
go to settings and look for our stream
key obviously don't show anyone else
this stream key they will be able to
stream to your account if they do have
it so you click show stream key copy
that and then we're gonna go back into
the OBS program click on file then
settings click on streaming select
twitch as the service and then choose
the closest server to you in terms of
geolocation so I'm in New York so I'm
gonna choose that one then you can copy
your stream key that we just grabbed
from twitch and put it in the field here
and click apply after that we can click
start streaming and then we can head
back over to twitch.tv and in our
dashboard we should be able to see a
preview from there you can just click
the button you need to in twitch to
begin live-streaming to all of your
twitch followers next up we'll do
YouTube so go to youtube.com and log in
click on the icon at the top right to go
to your creator studio and then click on
live streaming in the menu on the left
put in all the info you need on that
page like your title description
thumbnail all that fun stuff scroll down
then to encoder settings and click
reveal on the stream key then we're
gonna copy that go into OBS click on
file settings Stream select YouTube as
the service we're gonna select YouTube
primary as the server and put our stream
key that we just copied into here and
click apply you can then click start
streaming here and check on YouTube for
the stream fair warning
unlike the other streaming services when
you do that YouTube automatically pushes
it out to everybody and makes it live it
doesn't give you a chance to preview it
before you go live I learned this the
hard way sorry everybody for making you
watch link just stand there and do
nothing for a little bit my bad but if
you were gonna test this out make sure
you select private
who you want to share this with in
YouTube before you test it and finally
here's how you do it for Facebook you go
to facebook.com and the easiest way to
do this is gonna be for a page so we're
gonna click on the page that you want to
stream from and then click on publishing
tools at the top click on videos on the
left then we can click live a pop-up
will appear you were gonna copy the
stream key from there I'm not gonna show
you mine obviously but copy yours and
then go into OBS click on file settings
stream like we keep doing select
Facebook live this time as the service
select the default server and put it in
your stream key that we just copied
click apply then you can click Next in
Facebook go through all of the details
that you need and then we go back to OBS
and click start streaming Facebook will
then show you a preview you can adjust
whatever settings you want and then
click go live when you're ready and
there you go enjoy streaming Zelda and
Mario Cart and all the other fun games
for Nintendo switch this should also by
the way work for any other device like a
xbox or a Playstation or anything like
that
all the steps are pretty much the same
except for the initial stuff with the
Nintendo switch framerate and all that
fun stuff you just use the settings for
your console now Razer was kind enough
let me borrow this rip saw and they were
also kind enough to let me give it away
to you guys so for a chance to win the
Razer ripsaw capture card all you have
to do is like this video comment beneath
it letting me know why it is you would
want the Razer ripsaw capture card
either for your Nintendo switch what you
would stream all that fun stuff or for
another console as well and then you
need to make sure that you are
subscribed and you have notifications
turned on if you don't all ready as soon
as this video hits a thousand likes I
will choose somebody at random to win
the Razer rips off and yes it is
international but there you go
