Can a webcam be used with an iPad?

Can a webcam be used with an iPad so there is a camera in the center of the iPad in portrait mode? If so, can the camera attach when the iPad is in a gooseneck iPad holder?

iPad, iPadOS 14

iPhone 14 Pro - Camera Blurry for Close Up Picture using third party apps Whenever you take a close up image or picture using a third party app like for IDs and other images that needs to be taken closely the image is blurry. I tried different settings and also cleared the camera app but still the same. It seems that the third party app doesnt automatically switch to the Macro Camera to do the close up photos.

No webcams work with any iOS/iPadOS device.
