I bought a magnifying USB camera for soldering. Windows Camera failed to access it. CameraAlternative failed to access it. Zoom showed black screen. Webcamoid showed enough to let me realize it wasn't a black screen but a microscope image that is out-of-scope.

Webcamoïd is not free if you want to download the pre-compiled packages for GNU/Linux, Windows, and Android. It is not very expensive : only 1,00 $US
