I just logged into my shadow for the first time in a month or so and I'm unable to connect my webcam, or any other usb device for that matter. I've already reinstalled the drivers to no avail. Let it be noted that my latency averages around 37ms. For years I've been able to connect my webcam with no issues, and I've usually had more than a 37ms latency. Since this latest update it's the first time that I've seen the little notice that states you need less than a 35 ms latency to use usb forwarding. I sure hope that I'm not just blocked from usb forwarding from now on due to an excess of 3ms latency.

USB forwarding in general is broken for a lot of people. Shadow are developing their own USB forwarding software, which is currently in Alpha. You can gain access to this via adding the role in #🔍┃roles and going to #🅰┃alpha Just please read the disclaimer if you choose to test

@robust plank with this it forwards it but shadow doesn't recognize it as the same device

Then I advise heading to #🅰┃alpha and detailing the device.

I recommend you test VirtualHere usb server if you use the free option you can connect one device like mouse or keyboard, if you want to connect like mouse keyboard same time you need to pay, I have used it a couple of months now I have never hade any problem
