Is there a driver for a webcam available?

I have a Lenovo Ideatab A1000L & it has a screen-side camera. I want to plug in & use an external webcam (I'm using an old IBM UltraPort webcam from a laptop + an adapter) to minimize my having to angle myself to get a proper picture or video. Is there a driver available?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

You may have better luck by looking for USB Webcam apps in the Google Play Store to see which one works with your camera. Otherwise, you will need to write code for the tablet to power the camera, and recognize the video feed.

well, none of the apps I tried could see or acknowledge the webcam I used. I'm getting a more up-to-date webcam from ebay & will try again
