How to Connect Nintendo Switch OLED Dock To TV & Set Up!

How to set up and use the Nintendo Switch OLED with the Dock, including how to turn on and attach the joy-cons.

[@mohammedal-ahmadi8045]

Straight to the point. Don't have to watch 17 or 20 min just to set up this. Thank you so much.

[@PhoneBattles]

that's my goal- glad to help!

[@tevingoodman4478]

You stole my comment!!!! Exactly thank you

[@Pisces_realshit]

Thanks for this video,I treated myself to this recently,I'm 51 years old and I don't know how to install stuff at all, but your instructions was easy and the system itself was super easy to hook up🥰

[@Hippyprincessjez]

Thank you for doing this. I couldn't figure out how to get the cords in and I was afraid to pop that plate off.

[@papatonygaming931]

Me too lol

Is it your first time buying a switch?

We just got ours I noticed it said hdmi and popped that straight off lol

[@theoneandonlyreese]

Thank you so much! This was the only tutorial I found that went smoothly step by step from opening the box all the way to connecting it to the tv!!

[@melosidhe779]

Thank you so much for this video. My switch didn't come with an instruction manual that explained any of this (which I'm not happy about since I bought it brand new). The most it had were the basic warnings

[@jeffghant4760]

Same here. These consoles are coming with less and less paperwork every generation. The health warnings are legal requirements I guess but anything else is wasted paper to them.

Best video STRAIGHT TO THE POINT 😁

[@allaneagleson1881]

Right? Some are 15 minutes long!

[@yamiibo]

@@allaneagleson1881 Yeah and it’s annoying

[@TonyStark-kd5ti]

Thank you so much. This was better than all the other help videos. They had the cords already plugged in and I didn't know that the charging cord was the cord meant to be plugged in. You explained it step by step and it really helped.

Glad I could help!

[@Sue938]

Thank you easy instructions really fast straight to the point and this is way better than any any other video that I’ve seen because I was trying to hook my Nintendo to the TV

[@Blagger3000]

Easy Set-up, works every time.
1. Connect the cables for power and the HDMI to the docking station. (Pop the plate on the base of the docking station and you will find the ports for the power lead and HDMI)
2. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to one of the TV's HDMI ports ensuring that it is firmly connected.
3. Place the Nintendo in the docking station ensuring that it is seated correctly. Turn on the mains electric power.
4. When the Nintendo is docked make sure that it is switched on using the On/Off power switch on the Nintendo its self.
5. The green light on the docking station will show when it is connected to the TV.
6. You should be able to see the Nintendo Switch Icon in the same place you select your various other smart gadets like, Playstation etc.
** Note: When you turn off your TV the green light on the docking station will go out. When you switch on your TV also switch on the Nintendo power switch and the green light will come on.

My sister got one for Christmas I have a older version and havnt used mine in a while so I forgot u needed too plug in the power cord😅

I wanna ask you how is the heat while it’s docked?

Thank you so much! I didn't know I had to open the doc to plug in the HDMI cable. Excellent video.

Thanks so much for this. I honestly couldn’t figure out how to set the Switch in the dock properly to make it show up on the television. I followed your lead and left the joycons on while I inserted it into the dock.

Hey. I have a question since you have one. Do you need an OLED tv for it or can it be any tv ?

Genuine question because I've never owned a switch before you know that little device that he slotted the joy cons into does that come with the switch or do you have to buy that separately? Thanks

Just switched from an original to the new Zelda Oled and was about to give up
Would it hurt Nintendo to include a lil set up card letting you know the back comes off

yes you can leave the joycons on the Switch Dock
