So, I tried creating a variety of different HVMs and assigning the USB PCI

Maybe the Logitech C910 is just cursed?
Perhaps someone could recommend a webcam known to be compatable with Qubes?
FYI, I've really only tried this with a limited number of applications plus
Qubes but, in Hangouts for instance - I learned the hard way that in order
to use my webcam (I believe I can attest to the specific model you mention
but don't ask me to state it clearly) I had to start a call with someone
then attach the web cam (meaning using either qvm-usb in dom0 or the GUI
equivalent for a logical attachment & NOT meaning that I then physically
attach) to the VM where the call exists already. I was of course using a
browser & there were items to work out & changes that could lead backward
if you didn't pay attention, but in general it works for me.
Thank you for this insight!
I have found that connecting my Logitech camera to a usb port, then
using the Qubes qui widget to connect it to the relevant qube with
Facebook messenger already running in Chromium, will allow the camera
to work when I call someone up!! Firefox doesn't work.
After finishing a call, I have to disconnect the camera from the qube,
remove the camera from the usb port, and then go through the procedure
above again, if I want to make another call. It's a bit of a palaver,
but it works most of the time.
Thanks again,
Mike.
