You don't need the Switch 2 Camera — but I tried 9 different models, and almost none of them worked
If you want to use video chat with the Switch 2, you may not need a new webcam — but in my experience, there'sa a good chance you will

The Nintendo Switch 2 has made its debut to huge initial success, and one of the big accessories you'll find on store shelves is the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera. This, alongside the Hori Piranha Plant Camera for the Switch 2, may have you think you need a dedicated webcam for your new console if you want to use GameChat, but that's not true. Nintendo has always acknowledged that existing USB cameras can also work, so I decided to put that to the test.
