Razer notes that the Kiyo V2 has been designed to offer "professional-grade image and video" in a webcam, with additional AI-powered optimizations and features via a partnership with Reincubate and its popular Camo Studio app. This includes AI-powered auto-framing, lighting correction, and backgrounds.

"With the Kiyo V2, we wanted to give creators the best of both worlds," said Addie Tan, Global Head of Lifestyle Division at Razer. "The original Kiyo Pro set a new standard for webcam image quality, but we knew creators needed more than just sharp visuals. That's why we built the Kiyo V2 with true 4K clarity and layered in intelligent AI optimizations, so streaming becomes easier, smarter, and truly stream-ready."

Image-wise, the Razer Kiyo V2 supports lossless capture in the MJPEG, YUY2, and NV12 formats, as well as HDR, and features an ultrawide-angle lens that lets you zoom in or out with "zero distortion."
