Can I connect my Nintendo Switch to my M1 iMac from 2021? I don't want to record it, I just want to use my iMac as a display for my switch. Is there any way without a capture card?
iMac (M1, 2021)
You can't use a 24" M1 iMac as a display for a Nintendo Switch.
The Nintendo Switch has a HDMI video output.
The M1 iMac does not have video inputs. There are USB-C to HDMI adapters and adapter cables that would work with it for the purpose of attaching a HDMI monitor, but those work in one direction: FROM the computer that has the USB-C port TO the HDMI display.

For XBOX there is a streaming option, which can be somewhat laggy even on the fastest of home networks, called OneCast, not sure if this can be configured for another game console other than XBOX.
