Is it possible to use the camera in an iPad Pro functioning as a second display for a MacBook Pro? I use both devices for work and online meetings (FaceTime), and realized that the front camera of an iPad Pro is much crisper. Hoping there is a way to use the camera of an iPad Pro while it works as a second display of my Mac. Thanks!

No. It isn’t possible. Of course you can have your iPad connected to your Mac using Sidecar, but your camera won’t link. While connected via sidecar, you are free however to go to the homescreen and navigate to facetime, before later going back to Sidecar mode via the dock. I agree with you however, it would be great to be able to use the camera of an iPhone or iPad on a Mac as a input… Product Feedback - Apple
Universal Control may also help you when it eventually releases (delayed by Apple). Universal will let you for example, control the iPad (not even connected via sidecar), via the Mac’s keyboard and mouse (or trackpad etc.) very easily.
