<h3 id="capture-card"><a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" href="#capture-card"><span class="icon icon-link"></span></a>Capture card</h3>
<p>This is the second way to stream your Xbox games to YouTube. It requires an external device called a "capture card."</p>
<p>A capture card connects to your computer via USB. It receives the signal from your console, in this instance Xbox, and relays it back to your computer.</p>
<p>It's a great tool to stream Xbox content. You can stream your games to any streaming service (e.g., the Twitch app).</p>
<p>But, it has a downside. A capture card is an additional hardware item that you need to purchase. The quality of the video it can create can also affect the price.</p>
<p>It is essential to verify the streaming service's maximum resolution (in this case, YouTube) and which capture cards will work best for your console (in this case, your Xbox). High-resolution capture cards are more expensive.</p>
<h3 id="connecting-to-youtube"><a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" href="#connecting-to-youtube"><span class="icon icon-link"></span></a>Connecting to YouTube</h3>
<p>To use this method, you don't need an Xbox console companion. The only streaming app that you will require is the OBS Studio.</p>
<p>Manuals included with capture cards will help you connect your Xbox to your capture card for OBS. With that done, you can connect your stream to OBS studio.</p>
<p>To start the stream, you'll need a stream key. To create your stream, you must go to the Youtube Home screen using your internet browser. There will be an option called Streaming software. Click it to locate the stream key.</p>
<p>Open your OBS Studio, go to the settings menu, and select the Stream option. There will be an open field called Stream Key. Here you can enter the stream key you received from YouTube.</p>
<p>Next, return to the OBS studio's starting screen and locate the Scenes panel at the bottom. You will find the Scenes panel by pressing the icon that looks similar to a plus sign. Pop-up will open. Name your scene, then save it.</p>
<p>Next, move to the Sources panel. It is located at the bottom of your screen, right next to the Scenes panels. You will find an icon that looks similar to a plus sign.</p>
<p>Next, you will see a drop-down menu. Click the Video Capture Device option to choose the capture device you want.</p>
<p>Once you've completed all the instructions above, you'll be able to see your Xbox Game Stream on the OBS Studio preview screen. You can make any changes to your stream before it starts streaming to YouTube.</p>
