In case you missed it, you can connect regular webcams and even camera phones with the Switch 2 to access GameChat and other features.
One phone that was apparently having some issues functioning in USB webcam mode when connected to the Switch 2 was the Google Pixel. According to the website Android Authority, this bug has now been resolved. As of the 'November 2025' update for this phone, the webcam feature on Switch 2 is now working.
Engadget also investigated this – and before it installed the November update on a Pixel, the "Switch 2 webcam feature didn't work", but after updating, "it worked". The official patch notes for the phone include a "fix for an issue where webcam mode does not work properly with connected devices under certain conditions".
So, there you go - if you happen to own a Google Pixel and want to use it as a Switch 2 webcam, it should now work as intended.
