It’s unclear whether the feature was made possible through a change from Google or Nintendo.
When the Switch 2’s GameChat webcam features first launched, Nintendo said most USB compatible cameras would work on the console to help you stream. That wasn’t true for many smartphones, but it’s now working for those who own modern Google Pixel handsets.
A new update brought the feature to all recent Pixel models, although the exact list of compatible devices remains unclear.
As spotted by Android Authority, an X user said they have now been able to now connect their Switch 2 to their Pixel phone for the first time. Since then, two other owners confirmed the same compatibility, as did the team at The Verge.
