The Nintendo Switch 2 offers built-in voice chat and screensharing

Voice chat was never easy on the Nintendo Switch. Thankfully, with the Switch 2, Nintendo is making it an integral part of the new console. By pressing the new "C" button, located on the right Joy-Con, players can jump into a Game Chat with their friends and family. Nintendo demoed the feature during its recent Switch 2 Direct, alongside a new Switch 2 Camera that will go on sale on June 5, the same day as the new handheld.
