I don't know how to capture switch gameplay :/. I know that you need a "cAPtURe cARd" but I don't wanna get one. Anyone know any tips?

Get a capture card.

Build a Lego stand to hold your mobile up, and point it at your screen. This was my method to capture my DS screen before I ordered a capture card.

I made mh ds capture stand out of a strong cardboard if its sturdy it will work :) but I second seydie but luckily for switch you can get some quite cheap capture card options :D

Your options are either literally pointing a camera at your TV or getting a capture card. If you're fine with shitty cam quality then go for that, but if you want your recordings to actually look good and be taken seriously then you need a capture card.

I'm not really sure why you're against getting a capture card though, they're really not that expensive. You can get a good HDMI capture card for significantly cheaper than the Switch would have costed you.

Expensive is subjective Shiken. I know between the 12th and the 15th of each month McDonalds is expensive to me lol.

@TheGreatToddman Well sure, but if you can afford a Switch and you can afford games for it, you can probably also afford to set aside some money for a capture card.

Got games for your switch? Sell a couple, buy a cap card.
