Your Lightweight Guide to Streaming the Nintendo Switch 2 Like a Pro

Introduction

You recently went out and grabbed yourself a brand new Nintendo Switch 2, fired up the latest Mario Kart for a gaming session, and halfway through the race you suddenly had the thought “Maybe I should stream this”. Whether you decide to battle it out with friends in Mario Kart, potentially upsetting some friendships in the process, or perhaps settle in for a chill session of animal crossing, streaming in 2025 doesn't have to mean you need a complicated setup to get started. In fact, with a little bit of research and the right gear, you can put together an efficient and lightweight streaming station that is comfortable, easy to set up and gets you connected in a few simple steps without the need or hassle of having to turn a room in your home into a mini studio. 

The hardest parts for streaming can be keeping all of your relevant information and tabs in view- this can be things such as your gameplay, your stream controls, and your stream chat. Having to tab between different windows or screens can be tedious and rather frustrating. That’s where the JSAUX FlipGo Horizon earns its place in your setup. 

Combined with say… your laptop’s built in display, the FlipGo Horizon offers you a full triple monitor layout. With this, you can dedicate one screen specifically to your Switch 2 gameplay, while the other two screens can be used for OBS and stream controls as well as your chat feed, stream alerts and even reference notes if you need them. It’s a simple yet efficient upgrade that makes a huge difference in keeping you focused on the things that are most important for a smooth streaming experience. An added plus is that the FlipGo Horizon also folds up light and slim, so you can put it away in seconds once you’re finished with your stream setup. Between the JSAUX All-in-One Travel Storage Carrying Case for Switch 2 that keeps your console, Joy-Cons, and accessories safe and organized wherever you go and the FlipGo Horizon package that comes with a Backpack that is designed specifically for both storage and travel, this allows you to take your entire streaming set up with you wherever you go. 

From a technical perspective, while this can be pretty daunting to many people putting their foot into the streaming world for the first time, you’d be surprised how a Switch 2 livestream setup is surprisingly simple when you’ve got the right gear. 

To keep costs low, at a minimum you’re best investing in a reliable USB-C hub—something from the JSAUX GAMING range such as the Dock Adapter for Switch 2 with HDMI 2.1 output for smooth 1080p or 4K passthrough, multiple USB 3.0 ports for your mic and webcam, and Power Delivery support to keep your console charged during long sessions. 



When combined with a capture card that supports at least 60fps for fluid gameplay, a high-speed portable SSD for storing raw footage, and a stable internet connection (wired ethernet is the way to go, but a solid wireless network can work wonders too), this combination ensures your stream runs without lag spikes, desync issues, or those dreaded “stream has been interrupted” pop-ups.

Of course, a good stream isn’t just about visuals—it’s about keeping everything connected smoothly. If you’re moving between docked and handheld play, having that dependable USB-C hub ensures that your capture card, microphone, and charging cable all plug in without fuss. And let’s not forget the controller situation: dead Joy-Cons mid-stream are a mood killer, which is why the JSAUX EnergyFlow Joy-Con Charging Dock for Switch 2 is a must-have. It charges multiple Joy-Cons quickly and keeps them neatly stored, so you’ll never have to pause the action to swap batteries. Pair all of that with a portable SSD for your game recordings, and you’ll have a tidy, easy-to-manage library of clips ready for editing later.

Comfort for Long Sessions

Long streams aren’t just about having a comfy chair—they’re about having a setup that works with you, not against you. Keeping your gear organized makes a huge difference. If your spare Joy-Cons are always topped up on the EnergyFlow dock and your cables and accessories are stored in the All-in-One Travel Storage Case, you’ll have a lightning-fast setup and teardown every time. Less time untangling wires means more time gaming, and because everything fits neatly into a travel-ready case, you can bring your whole streaming rig anywhere—whether that’s a friend’s house, a tournament, or just another room for a change of scenery.

Summary

Streaming the Nintendo Switch 2 doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right gear—like the FlipGo Horizon for a triple-screen multitasking setup, a solid hub for flawless connectivity, portable storage for your videos, the EnergyFlow Joy-Con Charging Dock to keep your controllers ready, and the All-in-One Travel Storage Case for easy portability—you can build a streaming station that’s efficient, flexible, and ready to roll. The best part? It’s your stream, your rules—minus the clutter.
