 What's up everyone, it's Hakedown here. Welcome back to another video. Today I'm gonna be showing you guys how to screen record and take screenshots on your Nintendo Switch. Now this is super easy to do and I actually can't believe I haven't made a video on this until now. This can be done not only on your Nintendo Switch but also your Switch Lite. If you are using the Switch, then it doesn't have to be set up like this. You can be playing it on the TV and still screen record and take screenshots as well. The two things I want you guys to keep in mind is number one, whenever you are doing this, to be able to do it, you actually have to be playing a game. You can't be on the home screen here or in any of the other menus. You actually have to be on an actual game and playing it and that's what you're gonna be taking screen recordings of and screenshots of. And the second thing to keep in mind, whenever you're doing screen recordings, it only records the last 30 seconds of gameplay. So if you guys want to make a longer clip or a longer video, you're gonna have to do it multiple times and edit them together. Now there is a workaround for the Switch, not the Switch lights. For that, make longer videos and I'll explain that at the end of this video. So first, let me show you guys how to take a screenshot on your Nintendo Switch. So right here, this button underneath the arrow keys, this side here is your home button. The other one here, this button here that just has a circle indents is the capture button. So if I go and I press this right here, up here in the corner, it did tell me that it captured the screen. So again, you're just gonna press the button and it does take a screenshot just like that. Now to do a video recording, again, it's only gonna do the last 30 seconds. But to do this, you're actually gonna press and hold this button for one seconds and I'm gonna show you how to do that now. So you're gonna press and hold it. It's saying that it's recording and right there it shows that it is captured. So whenever it shows that it's captured, that's when I release my finger on the capture button. So now I'm gonna show you guys how to go and view your screenshots and video recordings. So to do this on your home screen here, this button right here, the blue rectangle is your albums and that opens up and you can see all of your screen recordings and screenshots. Now it's hard to see here. The first one here actually has a 30S in the bottom corner here. That is a video. That is 30 seconds that is recorded. That's how you can tell the difference between videos and the screenshots is if it has the 30S, it's a video. If it has nothing and it's just the screenshots, then that is it. Now there actually is a way to record longer videos for your Nintendo Switch but it's actually not done on the Nintendo Switch. What you're gonna need to purchase is a capturing device and with that you can only use it with the Nintendo Switch, not the Switch Lite because you do need access to HDMI ports which is not on the Switch Lite only on the docking station for the Nintendo Switch. Now in theory how you're gonna set it up is there's gonna be the HDMI cable going from your docking station to the capture device and then another HDMI cable from the capture device to your TV. So instead of your docking station going an HDMI cable from the docking station to the TV, there is the capture device in between that and with that you can either connect that to your computer and record that way or you can actually plug in a flash drive or other video saving forms and be able to record and save it to the flash drive to use later and it will stream that way. Now that's not something that I have nor need but that is a way that you guys can record longer videos but you do need a capture device and to me it's a little bit more of a headache but if you guys want longer videos and you don't want to edit them together that is also an option for you. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video and now you guys know how to screen record and take screenshots on your Nintendo Switch. Again, not only the Nintendo Switch but also the Switch Lite and it doesn't have to be set up like this. You can actually use the controllers and it'll be playing on the TV and simply hit that button or press and hold it and it will take a screenshot for you or video recording. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video. I'll see you guys in the next one. Please take care, peace.
