The company wrote, “You can use Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessories (separate sales) or any synchronous USB-C® camera you want.” But if you easily buy a PC webcam from the shelf, you may be disappointed.
Many USB-C webcams we have tried do not work at all, including you will usually find the list of “best webcam” around the Internet, such as Logetic Bro 4K, Insta 360 Links, and Elgato Fiscim MK. Meanwhile, ancient USB-A cameras like my logic C920 fire immediately without any hassle.
And in our testing, it doesn’t matter if you use the switch to the dock USB-C ports or USB-A ports, whether you are passing through the C-To-A adapter, or whether you do Gul Dawoodi China with the USB Hub: Webcams work, work, and who do not.
Overall, it is starting to look like Nintendo did not mean “compatible with USB-C, but” is compatible with switch 2. ” So why suggest that you can use any camera you want? We have asked Nintendo. (There was no answer for us right now.)
According to the launch, neither Nintendo nor any major webcam manufacturer had a partial list of compatible webcams for us. We asked Lajtic, Roger, Microsoft, Genko, Elgato, Dell, Insta 360, Obsbot, and Opal, but they had nothing yet. (We will publish a refreshing and/or a new story next week.)
In the meantime, it may be up to the game and the media to make a list. So here is the first war!
We confirmed that it works with Switch 2
We confirmed that it doesn’t work
According to the notifications the switch works with 2

According to Nintendo’s credit, it is incredibly easy to check which camera Do Work with the console. The bus go System Settings > Controllers and accessories > Test USB camera And as soon as you plug them, you will automatically display a picture on the screen.
And according to Elgato’s credit, it tells Stuffy It can try to update your camera: “For cameras who don’t work, we will find firmware updates to enable compatibility with Switch 2“Spokeswoman reads a statement through Justin Okbina.
If you find (or create) a trusted latest listing list, tell us which webcam works! I can add it here and the future Stuffy Story
