quick diagnosttic. do inxi -G (graphics details) should include webcam and is if a driver is set.

#

if it is, launch Webcamoid from the start menu.

#

or install Cheese if you prefer that webcam viewer.

might not be compatible. I tested an old logitech cam once on Linux laptop and it was same story
