Webcam issue


Got a cheap webcam: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I think the model says it is a TW-05, the brand is Annrose. The manual says it works with Linux 2.6 or greater. I am running Linux Mint 19.2 on an i7-8700.

Cheese does not recognize it, If I knew shat module it needed maybe I could get it to work.

You might try installing guvcview. I've had experience with webcams that don't work in Cheese and do work in guvcview. It should be in the repos.
