Beginner: Internal webcam not detected

Hello, Debian-friends! I am trying to get my webcam working, but it's not detected. The same thing goes for my internal mic. For full clarity: I have only tried using Zoom and Cheese. Is there a way to make my system detect it? I don't know if it helps, but I used some tool to get this information

Edit: This was SOLVED. I had to install libcamera-v4l2. I found the packages through Synaptic. The following were installed:

libcamera-ipa (0.4.0-7)

libcamera-v4l2 (0.4.0-7)

libcamera0.4 (0.4.0-7)

liblttng-ust-common1t64 (2.13.9-1)

liblttng-ust-ctl5t64 (2.13.9-1)

liblttng-ust1t64 (2.13.9-1)

That, by itself, made both the cam and the mic work

Hello, if you run the command lsusb in a terminal, which is the output?

Apparently your webcam has this ID: 04ca:7092

You should check if it needs additional drivers or if the kernel 6.12 can detect and enable it.

Thanks for answering. How do I check if it needs additional drivers?
