My son like a lot of others thinks that he wants to get into YouTube streaming either live, or via recordings from his XBox One to a capture card and into his laptop.
Is this something that anyone plays around with and can you recommend what kit I need to buy him please? I see these Elgato HD's cropping up in various reviews but does anyone here use one?
I bought my lad a fairly respectable laptop Christmas before last, an i5 of some description with 8GB Ram, 1TB HD, an onboard Intel GPU but also an nVidia [not sure which] which kicks for gaming. Primarily all his gaming is on the XBox one though. The usual suspects, COD, Black Ops Zombies and GTA. I suspect he needs a decent capture card to record to his laptop. What I really don't know [and I don't think he does either] is if he's wanting to record a stream from his XBox, and then record a separate stream of either his laptop's webcam or a separate webcam so that he can show his face and the game on the stream simultaneously.
If anyone has any thoughts, advice or experience with this kind of setup please it would be appreciated. Frankly I'm out of my depth with this one as it's not something I've ever done.
