Hello everyone, I just bought 2 webcams on Amazon: https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B0894BLBPC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
One of this plugged on Mac Pro 2019, via usb, on Big Sur. No probs.
When I try to plug this webcam to Mojave installed on a Mac Pro 4.1 (upgraded to 5.1, changed GPU and CPUs following threads on this forum) PhotoBooth tells me that this webcam is in use. So I tried to check System Preferences' sound section to verify if almost mic was recognized. Yes, here the mic is correctly recognized. But the video isn't working at all in apps.
Tried to reboot several times, tried to connect to usb 3 ports or usb 2 ports on the mac, on the display. Always the same, the webcam is not recognized.
So I decided to connect that webcam on a third mac (mbp 2016/Big Sur). Here, the webcam that doesn't work on Mac Pro 4,1>5.1 perfectly does, even plugged with usb 2 > usb c converter.
I tried then to download macam. No luck.
Perhaps anyone have ideas?
Thanks in advance to all.

Solved! Anyone having problems, i tried to download iSightDisabler, re-enabling fixed the problem. I didn't remember, but maybe years and years ago when I owned this mac, I disabled it for privacy reasons.
