USB capture not coming up as camera on Quicktime

I am trying to record a VHS USB capture to Quicktime. I never used to have this issue but the device no longer comes up in the QuickTime camera settings. I assume this is due to an update. It works as an audio device however. As you can see it's the ezcap usb audio device. When I go onto VLC to try and use that instead it does come up with a video signal so it's not an issue with the capture device. I just can't figure out how to tell Quicktime that it is a camera that I can record from.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.3

it could be that the driver for the USB capture device is not supported for big sur. the device i use is from a different vendor than yours. it, too, is not compatible with big sur. just like yours, on big sur, it shows up as an audio device, but does not show up under camera. rather than return it to said vendor and shop for a replacement, i installed catalina on an external samsung T7 SDD. i then downloaded the driver and voila, the device worked properly.
