We live in the 21st century world and that means we are present on social networks and that we like to show of all our accomplishments. So when we talk about video games, we want everyone to see what we’ve achieved and even show those funny moments that come to us when we least expect it. Including some of those outlandish vehicles we can create in the new Zelda of Switch.
Share images and videos
Nintendo Switch, like many other consoles, has options for sharing screenshots and videos, but until relatively recently, it offered few options for getting those materials quickly and directly on a device such as a mobile. As many, this gave us the result of uploading it directly to one of our social networks
Luckily Nintendo Switch has a way to send those screens and videos straight to a cellphone, wirelessly, although the process is a bit cumbersome as the console has to create a Wifi hotspot and then give us access to the machine IP and once there and allow us to download the smartphone what we have selected.
That’s why We will walk you through the whole process step by step. which is very simple if we follow it to the letter although, yes, we recommend that you do it after the game session is over to avoid problems. In case.
How to send a video to your smartphone
The first thing you need to do after saving that video or screenshot is press the home button on the console to access the gallery from the main screen
Once done, this video will be opened in full screen and we press the specific button that shows all the sharing options that we have.
As you can see on the screen just above, we are left with the second of the possibilities, which is that of “Send to smart device“.
Now a screen will appear with a QR code on the left side: we scan it with the smartphone camera or with a application that we have inside. In this way we will connect to the Wi-Fi access point generated by Switch.
When we’ve done that, another QR will appear, now on the right side, which is the one that takes us to the page with this video that we want to transfer to the phone. When we have scanned it and everything is OK, we will hear a confirmation sound.
Eventually The thumbnail will appear on the phone screen – in this case, an iPhone – of the video we wanted to pass and an indicator to download it locally. Once the transfer is complete, from the device itself we can share that milestone that we want to show through WhatsApp, social networks or any other channel in which we have an active account.
You can repeat this process as many times as needed to access screenshots or other videos.
