That's a very nifty solution! The only issue, in my opinion, is the input lag that this would cause. Faster paced games might be difficult to play. However, puzzlers and story driven games would work well. :)
If you run the switch at full brightness, the camera will use a faster shutter speed, and lag should be barely noticeable. This is something many people put up with for the sake of multilayer games, and when you just want to play Mario party with some friends, why complain?
if it didn't cost a liver and if maybe YOU COULD FIND ONE, yes, I would. but if Amazon and other online markets skyrocket the damn Switch from 450 USD to 700 USD and the Nintendo store doesn't have one, yeah people buy the Lite. I am still gonna wait...I want docking
the video output chip costs next to nothing, Nintendo removed it on purpose so that you had to spend more money on the Original switch if you wanted to be able to play on the tv.
I feel like it wouldnt even be that expensive. Even the cheapest laptop has an hdmi out. I think Nintendo just did it because they didnt want sales for the orginal switch to drop
I do agree with this. I'm also waiting for a Chinese company to release a dock that holds the switch lite along with a pull out phone holder to project it to the t.v. however I have a normal switch so I'm good
Here's the answer without watching the video: 1. Get a stand for your phone that can point directly down. 2. Connect your phone to your tv, then put it in the stand. 3. Switch to camera, point at switch screen, fine tune for quality, then Enjoy.
I wasnt really thinking of "how to dock the switch lite" i was thinking what this guy must have been thinking aboot when he found this remedy... how about a device that allows you to capture your switch lite to the tv, because if the switch lite cant do it, surely there must be something else like a device that can do it for you, and luckily for me this is very inexpensive
Most people have a somewhat good phone at home. The samsung galaxy s8 they use has the same camera as the samsung galaxy s7 a phone from 5 years ago. You don't need a new expensive smartphone.
Dumb getto solution. Way to many adds for a 11 minute video. Pointlessly pricey solution, and the fact the thumbnail literally shows it as if it properly docked when the video does not do that at all. That’s why
Most phones now have good cameras a feature indie film was filmed on a iPhone and ill probably do sometime if I can with my galaxy if I can't find a way
For something so clever and ingenious, it actually looks kinda silly when you see a screen recording a screen and putting on a screen. It's a lot of screens. Clever workaround, though.
Genius, so simple yet works like a charm! I have a D3 Switch but my other half only has a lite, now she can play her own Animal Crossing Island on the big TV! We already had 2x Galaxy S10's laying around due to a recent upgrade. All I needed to order was the USB to HDMI and a tripod to hold the phone.
I bought a switch lite because I don't really care about playing on TV . . . But it's good to know that I have that option too. Thanks man great video !
I just got one (waiting for it currently) because I only have a CRT-TV and I want some shmups on the go. I can only agree. This is a good solution. Reminds me of those stands that just magnify your phonescreen if you don't have a tablet to watch shows on. Simple, easy, cheap.
Yesss, lot of people make fun of this idea but I appreciate the effort here. And this video is made for people who like how compact lite is yet still could play on big screen
I managed to get one in the height of the Switch's scarcity in the pandemic. Granted, it was really hard lol. I didn't have anything better to do tho, so it was worth it
Genius bro, I don’t even ever comment on RUclips but this is worth the comment…. Excellent solution with very little effort. Why didn’t I think of that lol!! Thanks for your service.
There actually was a TV camera adapter back in the psp days that did the same thing, since the first gen psp didn't have video output. It would sit on the psp screen like a mechanical alien face hugger. Cool to see that basics still work!

For the ones of you that have smartphones without USB OTG support, you can use some software like scrcpy to connect your phone via USB to your PC and view its screen without almost any lag (in fact an expert eye could notice it but it doesn't affect playing games at all) or, if you can't use a PC or a phone, you could always use a camcorder, I have one with an HDMI out that I can connect to my TV and it works quite well for streaming portable consoles on a big screen.

I see just one problem with this. Most of us have smartphones, yes. But we don't have the accesories needed to record the Switch Lite.

So I’ve decided to add to this since I was looking around for it on Amazon: - Controllers: I recommend IINE Switch controllers which are amazing (have them myself and these aren’t even the cheapest off brand ones I’m using) that only costs $30 - Switch stand: Tscope stand - $11 - Phone stand (cheapest I could find) - $7 - Converter cable - $5 Total = $52 Nintendo Switch v.2 = $357 Nintendo Switch Lite + setup = $229 (+52) = $281 So you’re saving around $76
I see what you're getting at, but I think this video is for people who already own a Switch lite, not necessarily for people who are looking to buy a Switch for the first time (although that may be the case for some). I bought the lite because I didn't have a TV at the time and also prefer to play in handheld mode, but now that I got a TV, I sometimes want to see some games on a larger screen (or need to do those stupid motion control shrines in BotW). I'm definitely not going to spend $300 to buy *another* Switch because I already spent $200 on the Lite, but I would be fine with spending around $50 more on screen recording accessories for the rare occasions that I do want to see a game on the TV. I already have everything he mentioned getting anyways except for a pro controller (which I just found a good one for ~$20 on Amazon), so I might actually try this if I have the time and patience!
@@Alyakismydutchname I like all what you’ve said. I bought a Switch Lite for 147. All other things to buy for this set up are fairly inexpensive. Hands down don’t care what I pay for a Pro controller because I’ve played on one & it’s by far the best controller Ive ever played. And have had my hands on all out there. I’m trying this.
I have a regular switch but was looking up docking solutions for a friend. This is pretty great and while not as elegant as some might hope for, is certainly viable and should be done by anyone with no other options. Great video.
This video is extremely helpful. I just got a dock for the switch lite and tried (with absolute failure) to connect to hdmi before I found this video. Now I just bought a cable and the adapter and I'll save this video for later use.
Keep in mind this is also a great option if you want to use your smart phone on an Elgato capture card and stream through OBS or use it as a webcam/pro recording camera.
@@emilymarie6486 It's a streaming service mate, nintendo could give the ok to add netflix to switch if they wanted to, there's like 3 streaming services on the switch. As for the inside (the actual upgrade) it's almost 3x better than a 3DS
The best app I found for ios is called "True Visage". I found that it works best with iPhones that have a home button since the aspect ratio is better suited for the switch.
Thanks so much for this. My mom doesn't have a lot of money, but knew that both me and my sister would want a switch to play animal crossing. So I told her that I don't mind having a switch lite while my sister gets the big one. I don't regret this decision, but sometimes I do wish I could just play on a bigger screen, as the small screen just feels a bit uncomfortable for me sometimes. Thank you!
I totally understand the connections after watching this. Awesome idea. Obviously your going to need a controller for this. How would you connect that? I'm a little lost on that part
definitely a good workaround for us that arent able to get their hands on a switch and instead had to go with the switch lite because of og switches not being in stock for months now, I didn't really mind about the docking anyhow but its nice to know theres a way to dock it if you really wanted to, so thanks for this I'll definitely have to try this out
I'm really thankful for your immense contribution. I was not confident by using this method, but you have given me a LOT of confidence with my switch lite. Regardless of what other people say, you uploaded something really awesome!
Not sure why everyone doesnt get it! If you only own the switch lite or prefer it for the dpad or whatever this is an amazing solution. So many haters!!!
Someone should manufacture a dock box that easily slides the switch lite inside(covering the front screen) and have an adjustable slot for smartphones in front of the box to film. The dock could charge both the switch and phone, and block sunlight which would always keep the image more stable. Would be way easier to adjust instead of having a stand and would be way more stable.
This isn't docking the switch lite though. It's just screen recording/screen sharing with a smart phone. Plus you need a mount and you need to get a controller to play it.
Even if u were able to dock it by cutting the sides off of a normal switch dock, it still won’t work cuz the switch lite doesn’t have that special video output chip so yeah this is a good alternative btw I didn’t watch the whole vid yet so idk if he already explained this
I don't understand why every reviewer of the Nintendo switch Lite says how appalling it is that it can't be docked. if you want to dock it get the OG switch but there is a lot of dedicated handheld fans that appreciate the light for what it is and have nearly no interest in docking it and playing it on a large TV. so switch Lite owners are not missing out on anything. the lite was specifically designed for handheld fans. Not Just little children. not to just have a second switch lying around but to satisfy gamers who just so happen to prefer their gaming on a handheld system (like myself) and it's the obvious choice for previous 3DS/psvita owners. So to that end for me, the switch light is exactly what it set out to be and I'm loving it. my one complaint, no Rumble of any kind. sorely missed and a bad move by Nintendo. and one last thing. the name. What would you have preferred it be called? it plays all the switch games. connects to and does everything the OG switch does. the name makes sense to me and it's called a switch "LITE" for reason. so if you want all the extra amenities/docking the switch offers go with the OG switch. if you just want an excellent portable handheld experience turn the switch light is perfect. either way it's a win-win and it's all Nintendo so nothing but love. peace out!!
I have an s8 plus lol. This is a great idea thank you. I didn't know that you do budget PC builds! Now I'm excited. Once I get a job and save up some money I'll finally be able to build a PC.
My Mate Vince showed this same thing on his channel the other month... You guys have great minds alike Just wait now for the more complete packaged all-in-a-box versions of these docks to appear on alibaba
Yes once its finally homebrewed we will hopefully see an screen casting option where you can do this method without a smart phone. The quality will be even better.
@@techyesterday4960 there is new homebrew sysmodule called sysdvr that allowed me to stream my switch to twitch or live video. it is very cool. it only work with atmosphere cfw on original switches right now
@@techyesterday4960 It will be able to be modded soon. I can tell you that because there are these people making a chip that you put into your switch lite (you have to take it open) to be able to be modded (hopefully.) after this is out, (comes out sometime January 2020) there will probably be switch lite mods and all that stuff.

It's supposed to be a stripped down version of the Switch. Why would they make it dockable to compete with the other console? Use some common sense.
It's only a $100 difference. And what you get is worth way more than $100, the joycons alone are $80 brand new.
Then why waste the manufacturing costs to give people a cheaper option? Seems smarter to provide only one choice.

@@Alyakismydutchname I like all what you’ve said. I bought a Switch Lite for 147. All other things to buy for this set up are fairly inexpensive. Hands down don’t care what I pay for a Pro controller because I’ve played on one & it’s by far the best controller Ive ever played. And have had my hands on all out there. I’m trying this.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought “that’s a scam” but then I saw the setup and then I thought “how did I not think of that”?
Great video. Really the only option for Switch Lite honestly. Love the set up too, real clean. If it were me there'd be wires everywhere.
As the old internet saying goes, “if it looks stupid but it works, it ain’t stupid!”
I have a regular switch but was looking up docking solutions for a friend. This is pretty great and while not as elegant as some might hope for, is certainly viable and should be done by anyone with no other options. Great video.
Yeah. It's a make with what you got kind of solution or dish up some cash for the OG device.
I literally thought about this when I was convincing my mother I didn’t need the expensive switch
This video is extremely helpful. I just got a dock for the switch lite and tried (with absolute failure) to connect to hdmi before I found this video. Now I just bought a cable and the adapter and I'll save this video for later use.
Nintendo: You'll enjoy playing your regular Switch at home and your Switch Lite on the go!
Tech Yesterday: No, I don't I think I will
Keep in mind this is also a great option if you want to use your smart phone on an Elgato capture card and stream through OBS or use it as a webcam/pro recording camera.
Awesome idea!
IDK why I find this guy impressive and funny
Stop, your making me blush!
There's lots of dumb things on youtube but you deserve a crown for this one
This is my only problem with the Switch Lite, it can't dock. Thank you sir, for showing us this method!
Gotta love how you chose to edit out the phone recording from the thumbnail
I remember when this was being done w the original PSP lmao
I could never get that to work for my psp. 😦
Gamèlyzed This is exactly what I was referencing lol

This may be the only video I’ve ever seen without ANY dislikes. Props!
RUclips removed showing dislikes :(
"Switch Lite is meant to be an upgrade for 3DS"
Bold of Nintendo to assume I would upgrade my ds for a downgraded switch.
Yeah upgrade my ass. How am I supposed to play my old Pokémon gamess
It’s not an upgrade at all! I can watch Netflix on my 3DS but I can’t do that on my switch lite
@@emilymarie6486 It's a streaming service mate, nintendo could give the ok to add netflix to switch if they wanted to, there's like 3 streaming services on the switch. As for the inside (the actual upgrade) it's almost 3x better than a 3DS
Open camera is an app for Android phones. What’s a good one for Apple devices? I’m having troubles finding one that gets everything off of the screen.
The best app I found for ios is called "True Visage". I found that it works best with iPhones that have a home button since the aspect ratio is better suited for the switch.
@@gaminggarchomp3752 problem is it’s not 60 fps
@@rafaeldolores4782 bruh is fine with 30 just deal with it
Outside the box thinking man mad props ! Since I got mines I’ve been racking my brain on how I could possibly make this work 😂
this is prolly the most kosher way and cheapest way to do this. Appreciate it bro
Thanks so much for this. My mom doesn't have a lot of money, but knew that both me and my sister would want a switch to play animal crossing. So I told her that I don't mind having a switch lite while my sister gets the big one. I don't regret this decision, but sometimes I do wish I could just play on a bigger screen, as the small screen just feels a bit uncomfortable for me sometimes. Thank you!
I totally understand the connections after watching this. Awesome idea. Obviously your going to need a controller for this. How would you connect that? I'm a little lost on that part
You can just connect a pro controller to your switch lite
definitely a good workaround for us that arent able to get their hands on a switch and instead had to go with the switch lite because of og switches not being in stock for months now, I didn't really mind about the docking anyhow but its nice to know theres a way to dock it if you really wanted to, so thanks for this I'll definitely have to try this out
Can you do this on a monitor aswell?
Definitely caught me off guard with this one 😂
I wouldn’t really call this an “easy” solution but I guess it’s one..
Its the only solution, so...ya...
You beat the Switch Lite system!
Tech Yesterday and we appreciate you for it
there will be a real way soon
Tech Yesterday the other solution is getting the regular switch with real and proper docking capabilities.
I'm really thankful for your immense contribution. I was not confident by using this method, but you have given me a LOT of confidence with my switch lite. Regardless of what other people say, you uploaded something really awesome!
Thank you for the kind words brotha! Your my new pinned comment!
Not sure why everyone doesnt get it! If you only own the switch lite or prefer it for the dpad or whatever this is an amazing solution. So many haters!!!
@@carsonshea653 good point. Too bad you can’t use that sexy D-pad with this setup. One of the very few downsides of this scheme.
very clear and proper instruction👍
Me when my doc breaks: *looks at phone*
If there is a will there's a way. Man this shit is gehtto but I LOVE the idea.
Docking the Undockable ! this is true madness
Ghetto* :]
Tech Yesterday: Dock a switch without a dock
Nintendo: No, this isn't how you supposed to play the game
But he didnt :v using an smartphone camera looks bad
I’m having trouble connecting the audio of my switch to the tv. The wire I have works but I don’t get how to put the sound on. Can someone help?
Back to the ds and 3ds days when people didn't have capture cards they did the same thing with worse cameras. Still it was worth it
3ds was good but the 240p screen resolution made the games look bad for today's standards (3ds was still an absolutely brilliant system tho)
Someone should manufacture a dock box that easily slides the switch lite inside(covering the front screen) and have an adjustable slot for smartphones in front of the box to film. The dock could charge both the switch and phone, and block sunlight which would always keep the image more stable. Would be way easier to adjust instead of having a stand and would be way more stable.
This isn't docking the switch lite though. It's just screen recording/screen sharing with a smart phone. Plus you need a mount and you need to get a controller to play it.
Even if u were able to dock it by cutting the sides off of a normal switch dock, it still won’t work cuz the switch lite doesn’t have that special video output chip so yeah this is a good alternative btw I didn’t watch the whole vid yet so idk if he already explained this
This Man: Docks Switch Lite
Nintendo (with Dalek voice): Cease and Desist. Cease...and...Desiiiiiist
I don't understand why every reviewer of the Nintendo switch Lite says how appalling it is that it can't be docked. if you want to dock it get the OG switch but there is a lot of dedicated handheld fans that appreciate the light for what it is and have nearly no interest in docking it and playing it on a large TV. so switch Lite owners are not missing out on anything. the lite was specifically designed for handheld fans. Not Just little children. not to just have a second switch lying around but to satisfy gamers who just so happen to prefer their gaming on a handheld system (like myself) and it's the obvious choice for previous 3DS/psvita owners. So to that end for me, the switch light is exactly what
it set out to be and I'm loving it. my one complaint, no Rumble of any kind. sorely missed and a bad move by Nintendo. and one last thing. the name. What would you have preferred it be called? it plays all the switch games. connects to and does everything the OG switch does. the name makes sense to me and it's called a switch "LITE" for reason. so if you want all the extra amenities/docking the switch offers go with the OG switch. if you just want an excellent portable handheld experience turn the switch light is perfect. either way it's a win-win and it's all Nintendo so nothing but love. peace out!!
Thanks for watching the video and supporting our channel!
I have an s8 plus lol. This is a great idea thank you. I didn't know that you do budget PC builds! Now I'm excited. Once I get a job and save up some money I'll finally be able to build a PC.
New PC video in the next few days. Thanks for the support!
@@techyesterday4960 No problem. Thank you so much for the content! You're the first RUclipsr that I could find for budget pc builds.
Idk how to do it, but couldn't someone just install a output vid chip in a switch lite, or take the guts from a switch and put them in a lite?
This is a legit question from me.
Lol it actually works. You guys are heroes 😍
LOL thank you!
What did you buy?
Hell bro how you record you cell phone?
My Mate Vince showed this same thing on his channel the other month... You guys have great minds alike
Just wait now for the more complete packaged all-in-a-box versions of these docks to appear on alibaba
RUclips recommends this to me on April 5 2020
Me: Thinks this is an April fool's joke. *Looks at uploaded date*. It's not!
Didn't see this coming. 🤪
this helps me soon much thanks 👍
I LOVE ghetto rigging things so this is perfect for me 😂 I got my switch lite as a gift bc I couldn't afford a switch so this'll be great!
I knew that someone would do it..so people it's all fine..and when it's homebrewd etc or way more stuff in the future no worries..
Yes once its finally homebrewed we will hopefully see an screen casting option where you can do this method without a smart phone. The quality will be even better.
@@techyesterday4960 there is new homebrew sysmodule called sysdvr that allowed me to stream my switch to twitch or live video. it is very cool. it only work with atmosphere cfw on original switches right now
@@techyesterday4960 It will be able to be modded soon. I can tell you that because there are these people making a chip that you put into your switch lite (you have to take it open) to be able to be modded (hopefully.) after this is out, (comes out sometime January 2020) there will probably be switch lite mods and all that stuff.
but this is the cheapest and safest way to play with your Lite on TV without breaking the warranty :)
This dude was living in 2020 back in 2019
Lol you're right. This video somehow feels ahead of its time, the humor too.
But you’d need a controller to play as well right??
Yes a compatible one maybe a Hori or the pro controller
