Connecting your Nintendo Switch to your computer allows you to use your computer’s display, speakers, and other peripherals with your Switch. This can be useful for playing games on a larger screen, using your computer’s speakers for better sound quality, or using a wired controller for more precise input. There are two main ways to connect your Switch to your computer: using a USB-C cable or using an HDMI capture card.
Using a USB-C cable is the simplest way to connect your Switch to your computer. Simply connect one end of the USB-C cable to your Switch’s USB-C port and the other end to your computer’s USB-C port. Your computer should automatically recognize your Switch and switch to its display. If your computer does not have a USB-C port, you can use a USB-C to HDMI adapter to connect your Switch to your computer’s HDMI port.
