If you\u2019re looking for a webcam that works with the Nintendo Switch 2\u2019s new GameChat mode that lets you video chat with friends and see their faces within games<\/a>, it looks like the biggest brand in PC accessories is still your best bet. <\/p>\n

Logitech is the first webcam maker to confirm to The Verge<\/em> that the vast majority of its cameras work \u2014 all of them, in fact, save for the high-end Logitech Brio 4K. <\/p>\n

\u201cAll\u00a0of our webcams except Brio 4K work out of the box with Switch 2,\u201d Logitech spokesperson Leila Lewis definitively tells The Verge<\/em>.<\/p>\n

When the Nintendo Switch 2 launched three weeks ago, webcam manufacturers had no idea which cameras would be compatible with the new Switch, and some of the best-reviewed cameras simply didn\u2019t work. It was a weird mystery, a wild west<\/a>, and webcam makers had to figure it out on their own.<\/p>\n

Many didn\u2019t even have a Switch 2 to test with, my sources tell me, and had to compete with consumers to buy the fastest-selling game console of all time<\/a>. Nor did Nintendo provide compatibility guidelines, it seems, as manufacturers like Elgato and Ugreen had to reverse-engineer why their seemingly compatible cameras weren\u2019t showing up when they plugged them in. <\/p>\n

But that mystery now seems to be solved \u2014 the answers are not what we expected<\/a>! \u2014 and manufacturers are now seemingly free to update any of their firmware-updatable webcams and make them compatible with the new Switch. <\/p>\n

Logitech doesn\u2019t seem to be promising an update for the Brio 4K. \u201cBrio 4K is built with the security features of Windows Hello that are not supported on the Switch 2 anyway,\u201d Lewis tells The Verge<\/em>. <\/p>\n

But again, all its other webcams reportedly work \u2014 which won\u2019t be all that surprising to anyone who\u2019s been following the webcam saga. When Nintendo and webcam makers weren\u2019t originally able to provide lists of working webcams, Redditors crowdsourced their own list,<\/a> which includes far more working webcams from Logitech than any other manufacturer.<\/p>\n

A few Redditors say you can even get the Brio 4K working if you want, with a firmware downgrade<\/a>. Do that at your own risk, though.<\/p>\n

So far, Elgato and Ugreen have committed to upgrading specific cameras<\/a> to work with the Nintendo Switch 2. Obsbot has generically confirmed it will do some sort of firmware updates, and Insta360 is still looking into it. Anker is non-committal.<\/p>\n
