iPhone can be used as Nintendo Switch 2 webcam (video)

For those celebrating Happy Nintendo Switch for two days. It turns out that the iPhone is an officially supported accessory.

GameChat is a new social feature in Nintendo’s latest gaming consoles, allowing gamers to play together while calling videos through the Switch 2 system.

Nintendo sells official Switch 2 cameras that connect using USB-C, but the console also supports standard USB-C webcams.

Apple has been treating the iPhone as a Mac webcam for a while, and it appears that Nintendo is doing the same thing on the Switch 2.

Niles Mitchell is doing a video demonstration for us on YouTube:

This configuration relies on HDMI to USB-C cable and HDMI capture cable between iPhone and Switch 2.
