If it is not seen by the OS, then it's probably the privacy switch. I didn't remember which one that is, but checking the Wiki;

Wiki - Pinebook Pro - Privacy Switches

Let us know the results.
I ran the lsusb and no joy on webcam, reviewed and implemented the privacy switches in the Wiki.  Then the lsusb shows the webcam, progress there.  Restarted PBP.
Went to Applications and started Cheese.  No errors noted, however, no picture available either.  Removed Cheese, Restarted.  Installed Cheese from Flatpak, previous was from Official Repositories.  Restarted.
That worked !
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
