USB 2.0 Webcam on New Mac Mini

I have a 1 week old Mac mini, everything is working perfectly but I cannot get the Webcam to work through the USB 3.0 port. I have (2) Webcam USB 2.0 camera's and neither will work. They do not get recognized as a USB device and do not show up in any application. Does the Mac mini require a USB 3.0 camera or am I missing something.


BTW, my old Mac mini works fine with both cameras.


If you have run into this, please let me know how you solved it.


Thanks!

Should not but required to be usb3, I connected some old random webcam i purchased for my wife once that been on the floor behind the tv for years unused, however it works as primary mic for the Mac mini and it works in photo booth but it does not work with FaceTime, would assume its usb1.1 would assume all macOS supporting usb2 cams works too. Come to think of it I haven’t come across webcams which are usb3 required
