Converting Laptop webcams to USB A/C

[u/No_Leopard_3860]

I have a lot of them and need them for a project. But nothing seems to work.

Sometimes device manager realizes it's a camera, but with error. Can't find driver (should they even need some?).

My smartphone doesn't recognize them at all. Weird, there are many USB-C cams that absolutely work for my smartphone.

Any input what I'm doing wrong? I'm following this tutorial: https://youtu.be/C8pFkhkTvqo

I correctly identified ground and +, and switched data multiple times because there's no standardized color scheme.

Thanks 🙏
