    Switch up your webcam.

    You can use your iPhone (and likely Android phone) as a webcam for the Switch 2 if you connect them via a USB-C to HDMI cable and HDMI converter cable — total cost about $30.

    No need to buy a dedicated webcam just for the new console, which are typically worse than the cameras on modern phones anyway.

    TikTok has a new tune-hyping tool.

    The platform is globally releasing a self-service “Pre-Release” feature for Artist accounts that allows musicians to easily promote forthcoming album releases. Fans can automatically save unreleased albums to their Spotify or Apple Music libraries so that they don’t miss the album drop and can listen to them instantly upon release.

    A screenshot of TikTok’s Pre-Release tool for Artist accounts.
    The tool lets you save albums ready for release and provides a tracklist noting which singles are already available.
