This article explains how to record videos on the Nintendo Switch, including the original Switch and Switch Lite.
How to Record Nintendo Switch Gameplay
The Switch’s built-in video recorder works the same on both the original Switch and the Switch Lite. It allows you to record up to 30 seconds of gameplay, and is disabled when you’re not in a game. To record longer videos, you’ll need to use an external video capture device. Since the Switch Lite can’t output video over HDMI, that method will only work with the original Switch.
The Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite both have a capture button, a square button with a circular indentation in the center. The capture button has two functions: tap to take a screenshot and hold to record.
