If your camera is not recognized in Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV (Nintendo Switch 2 Edition), here's a clear step-by-step guide to fix it
🎥 Problem:
Jamboree TV mode requires a camera, but:
Your camera isn't being detected
You see "No camera found" or "Camera not supported"
Jamboree TV features like selfies or interactive mini-games aren't working
✅ Solutions to Fix the Camera Not Recognized Issue
🔹 1. Use an Official Nintendo Switch 2 Camera
Nintendo Jamboree TV is very picky with camera models.
Many users report that cheap or third-party USB cameras do not work, even if the Switch detects them elsewhere.
The official camera sold by Nintendo or approved partners is guaranteed to work.
🔗 Check Nintendo's support page:

🔹 2. Check USB Port & Cable
Use the front USB-C port on the Switch 2 dock (some players fixed the issue by switching ports).
Ensure the camera cable is not damaged.
Try plugging the camera in before starting the game.
🔹 3. Update the Game & Console
Go to Home > Game Icon > + > Software Update > Via Internet
Ensure your Switch 2 system is updated:
Settings > System > System Update
The camera recognition bug was partially fixed in version 2.1.1 (August 2025 update), according to Nintendo forums.
🔹 4. Reboot Your Console
Fully power off your Switch 2 (not just sleep)
Then turn it back on and connect the camera before launching the game
🔹 5. Try Another Camera (If Possible)
Test another known-working webcam if you don't have the official Nintendo model.
Recommended specs:
720p or 1080p camera
