How to fix 'Camera Not Recognized' error in Super Mario Party Jamboree?

[Administrator]

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:
https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com

🔹 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

UVC compliant (USB Video Class, plug-and-play)

⚠️ What Won't Work
Switch 1 camera or accessory

Cameras that need drivers (Nintendo doesn't support driver installs)

Low-end generic USB cameras (e.g., under ₹800 or $10)
