    If anyone cares you can run google duo and a LOGITECH c922 PRO hd webcam. the one that is 1080p 30fps and 720p 60fps works fine with an OTG cable. I also have another chinese knockoff web cam that works as well.

    Interesting. I've been trying to do this very thing. I bought a Logitech C270 USB webcam from Best Buy a couple of days ago. Because it is a USB-A, I also bought a OTG(On the Go) adapter USB-A to USB-C. I can't get the TS4K to recognize the C270. Is there something special about the OTG adapter that makes this happen?

    I tried installing an app that a youtuber suggested on this video . His video described exactly what I wanted to which is to utilize a webcam instead of the native on the device cams

    The app is Prism live studio. When I followed his link to the Google Play store and installed it, it didn't recognize the C270 and noted that the webcam was not compatible with Android 10.

    Does anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong? I'm guessing wrong OTG adapter? I know the cam is working. It worked with my laptop with windows 10 utilizing the USB-A plug without a OTG adapter.

    I didnt think the video quality was as good as on my shield pro. You actually dont know if the camera works until running Google Duo.
