Nintendo Switch 2 Camera
Whether in TV mode, tabletop mode or handheld mode, you can video chat with friends, or use other in-game camera features, by plugging this camera into the USB-C port on top of the console.
Its compact size makes the camera easy to move and place where you need it to be. The wide-angle lens can be freely adjusted to get everyone in on the action, no matter the room size. Plus, a high-sensitivity image sensor can adjust the brightness automatically to detect faces.
You can also use cameras that you own
You may be able to use a USB camera accessory you already own. However, not all cameras may work as intended. You can easily check compatibility using the Test USB Camera feature located in the Nintendo Switch 2 System Settings.
