How to Connect Nintendo Switch to the TV 

I made a more detailed version of this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9kigdbnYP0I.html

Why are so many people pissed at this guy for making a video that others (like me) would need, but not them? They’re saying shit as if it was a useless video, when a ton of people don’t understand how to do this, and this can help significantly. The point is, don’t watch it if you don’t need it, and don’t insult them because you watched this even though you didn’t need to. I personally thought it was very helpful and I give it a like.

To those of you who wrote rude comments here: Why? Why did you go out of your way to write a comment on a video that was not even meant for you? This video is meant for brand new Nintendo Switch owners of the first version of the Nintendo Switch, especially those who purchased the console from Ebay; the fact that you wasted your time and the Channel owner's time shows me that you have nothing better to do other than to make fun of something that you should not even be worrying about; I mean wow, makes me wonder what kind of person you are outside of the internet, to be honest.

Very helpful as a non switch owner but as the resident "computers guy" for my friends and family. Was able to help setup a friends switch remotely with this video.

Thank you for just getting straight to the point and showing the steps clearly, I needed this :)

Im a 40 year old veteran in Nintendo. I was connecting the 8-bit console at the age of 6 without a problem. Imagin how stupid i felt i need to look up a video to get informed i could open the docking station 😂😅 thanks man ... Im old

0:40 that’s how Nintendo switch makes babies

I had no idea I needed the AC adapter plugged in to make it work, that you for making it click in my head!! Your video was really helpful

Lmfao, my parents got my son a switch and I thought we had to use some special cord that didn’t come with it. Didn’t know it opened up like that

I DIDNT KNOW THE DOCK OPENED THANK U FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO-

I am looking at the RU-vid video recommendations, and guess what, other channels have made similar videos to this one, yet those videos are old, long and are not short and to the point; this video is short, to the point and is excellent for a reference guide.

Thanks for the short to the point set up video. My dock was a little different but your video helped me get the cords in without damaging it. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this video! From a non-techy mom trying to play with her son. ❤

Thank you, i kinda knew the process but i was missing steps and i was wondering why it wouldnt work but thank you for explaining the full process😊🥰

Thank you 🙏🏻 😊 you helped my seven year old and I set up his switch super fast

This video was so helpful! Thanks for making a straight to the point video so that I can play Super Mario Party with my family! x

Thank you so much for this! I found out I have too many cords plugged in so I’ll have to make some room for my power cord. Once I make room, I’ll watch this again and enjoy playing on the big screen. Thanks again!

I genuinely needed to know if this was possible. Well made video and highly intuitive

About 15 seconds in and I found my answer. Thanks

I looked up this video because I bought a game for my brothers switch (I do not have one myself and have never used one) and his room and stuff is really messy, so I don’t even really know what I’m looking for, this video is very helpful, since I had no idea what cords and stuff I was looking for

I have yet to come across any rude comments but apparently there are some which is just pathetic RU-vid is brilliant for tutorials let the people who need this use it and if you don’t need it leave it why be a dick when it’s helping people

(Please answer me if you know or dont know how to fix this) Now, i do what i all need to do. I put the switch in the Dock, and literally nothing happens at all. The screen is still on the switch nothing pops up, the switch doesnt even get charged and it doesnt count as i put it in the dock! What am i suppose to do?

Thank you so much I didn’t know how to connect it but you saved my life thanks I really appreciate it!!

I was attempting to do this myself yesterday... lost two fingers now and I think I'm paralyzed.

I have 2 Hdmi outputs on my TV the first hdmi output says DVI and the second hdmi output just says HDMI 2 where should I plug it? Also ty for the tutorial.

OMG, thank you so much. I’ve been trying to connect my Nintendo switch to my TV for the past year and a half, but I kept on failing and I eventually gave up. So thank you so much.

Excellent video; Keep up the good work

I didnt have any unoccupied Hdmi ports so i was unable to do this but thank u anyways!! ❤❤

I hardly ever comment but this video was a perfect explanation to hook up my sons switch. I clicked on a couple other videos before this one and they were shite!

I grew up poor and I bought my first nintendo at 24 years old. I needed this video to understand how it works. Thank you sir 😊

Thank you for making this video!! You answered my question within seconds. I haven’t used my switch with a tv in years so not remembering how to connect it was a struggle until I found this video! Thank you!!

This help so much I didn’t know I have to plug in the charger(I’m not being sarcastic)

Why are people being rude here? I got a switch as a gift and genuinely didn't know you could even do this, so this vid was super helpful.

i did everything in this video, but when i go to turn on the Switch, it just turns on the screen while its docked. the tv shows a no signal. ive checked all the cables, the hdmi screens on my tv, i dont know what else it could be edit: im so stupid my extension cord wasn’t plugged in

Thank you! I js got my new nintendo switch and im astatic, Needed help on this!

This was so helpful and easy! Thank you!

Female and male part plug💀💀🤣

Thanks bud Zelda is finally out and forgot how to do this. Feel dumb now haha

Thank you so munch

Thx, it was helpful since I don’t have tv at home but I sometimes take my Nintendo to the office where we have game room so thanks to this video I know how to plug the Nintendo to the tv 👌

THANK U SO MUCH I WANTED TO PLAY AND HAD NO IDEA HOW

Thanks this helped bc my dad and brother who know how ro do it are not here rn

Good video, man. My 5YO son took this step by step and got it done. Simplicity is an essence.

You’re a lifesaver!!! Thank you so much

Thank you for this video , very informative !

I read the instructions wrong. I am now running away from the police for tax ecasion

Thank you for this! While I've not checked Nintendo's support website, your video came up first when I looked for help on how to dock the Switch. After my days with the SNES, I moved over to PlayStation, which is a lot more straight-forward (since it's just wires that all consoles have and your controller. I don't have any additional peripherals). So, the Switch has been a new learning process, lol.

THANK YOU!! I bought a refurbished one (since it's 2023 I figured I'd save some money since the console cane out quite a while ago)....it came in fantastic condition but had absolutely zero instruction manuals. The switch itself is pretty user friendly but I keep hearing horror stories of scratching screens in the dock so this video was straight to the point and what I needed.

Bro thanks so much

Thanks for this video! I didnt have the ac adapter plugged into Switch, although the Switch was fully charged.

Thank you!

It’s so easy to do it

I hope u know u helped me thank u

Thank you so much! I wanted to do just as a work for a half an hour! This helped so much!

Thank you so much

Thank you bro

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much this really helps me alot❤

This was helpful because I'm getting a Nintendo switch today. I might not have a lot of time to hook it up to my monitor, so I am making sure I already know which parts are what and I have an idea of the space I'll need to do it. Not that it's hard. Ignore the rude people.

I watched this and my brain does not comprehend 😀

👋HEY! 👉HEADS UP! He's one of those people that you can understand very clearly he goes step-by-step shows you the photos and very thorough,so yeah I agree! If you don't like the video then go somewhere else....DAMN! HATTERS gotta HATE. GROW UP! NOT ONLY TOO STOP "SOME" OF YOU FROM SOUNDING LIKE AN IGNORANT A$$ BUT FOR YOUR DIGNITY AS WELL AS YOUR UNWILLINGNESS OR LACKING TOO UNDERSTAND WITH OTHER PEOPLE & OR ANIMALS.THANKS. Sweet dreams😴💤& a good day to you 😁kiss my💬

Thanks for this! I was so bewildered by all the parts on my nephew’s Switch, this made it easy.

This helped a lot thanks

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH

Thank you so much non of the other videos we’re helping. It’s set up on my tv & I’m playing tears of the kingdom now! Keep up great work buddy.

Thank u so much, my dumbass was not able to figure it out my myself

Gracias me ayudaste mucho con tu video Saludos desde Monterrey, NL. MX.

Thank you!!!😩😮‍💨 Now I can play “Palia” on the big screen😊

When u want to unplug the switch to the tv does it go back to the normal tv or does make u sign back into the tv because my tv is a Roku I’m not sure if my tv will go back to normal or be different let me know in the comments in the reply section

Thanks so much for the tutorial, once i plugged in my hdmi cords, i figured it out myself. Still though, this tutorial put on the right direction. Thanks man!

Thank you for this😭🙏 im HAPPT u sent straight to the point but still gave enough details!!! I needed this cuz I’m changing from the switch lite that can’t connect to a tv to the switch!!! Thx once again🫡🫶

Clearest video ever, thanks so much for this

Thank u for the help!

Thank you! This was so helpful. I bought a used one so it didn’t come with the instructions.

Thank you the other video I watched wasn't as in depth as this one was thanks!

Very helpful. Simple. But great.

Wow just good tutorial easy to follow and worked just fine 10/10❤

Honestly it's a how to stupid guide and shit helped me lol

Thank you❤

Thanks very informative

Thank you do much

Thanks man, was obvious in hindsight but appreciate the clear instructions!

Thanks this helped alor

Thank you for the steps when I first gotten my intendo I found this video :)but my dad said well do it tomorrow and tomorrow I said when will me do it and HD said"after all the other things to do ok margaret" and I said " ok soo what do we do first?" And he said all the things that we needed to do:buy the poopoo seat cleaner,buy the ingredients for the Philippino spaghetti and bread for my yumyum sandwich ;)

How do you connect to amazon fire tv

Thank you for helping me

When I went to do this my switch wouldn't connect to the tv, so when i put my switch on the stand and plugged it in a pop up showed up saying "Couldn't connect to tv. Make sure to use the ac adapter supplied with the console" Once i saw that I felt really stupid...

*THANK YOU SO MUCH! I NEEDED THIS :)*

thank u bro. its actually like solving a puzzle to do this without a guide 😭

I tried this, but I don’t have the ac adapter that came with my console- I lost it. Is there any way I can still connect or do I need to buy a new one? Thanks for the help either way :)

Thank you for making this video, my dumb brain really need this after thinking (why tf I never think of it?! ) lol

So my Nintendo switch is brand new, just tried setting up the dock in order and it won’t work. The dock does in fact charge the switch and the hdmi does work I even plugged it into my ps4 to see if it was the hdmi or not and the ps4 showed up just fine. No signal at all I get a indicator that my switch is charging when it’s seated and it automatically turns on when I take it off the dock. I have absolutely no idea what to do.

Thank you! I just got a used switch and this helped!

Thank you, was lost until I saw this video!

this is the most understandable video of all time

i just struggled for almost an hour to figure this out myself then i did it immediately after watching this video. thank you :)

Thank you it was helpful because I got a switch for Christmas

Thank you soooo much this was so helpful ❤

Great video it , connected in no time 👍🐸

Thank you for the video my man u saved me
