Is there a way I can attach a USB webcam to two devices?
I don't expect to use both devices at the same time so if I need a switching device of some description that's fine.
Use case: I have a client provided laptop that I remote into using AnyDesk from my personal desktop so I can use the monitor, mouse and keyboard attached to that and keep the desk clutter down. The laptop is put to one side, well out the way of my working space. I have a USB webcam attached to my PC and positioned on top of the monitor. I need to occasionally show my face in meetings which means moving the laptop from its position and into the middle of my desk. This is a non-trivial exercise due to the amount of stuff I need to shift out the way so I'm looking for a way to share the webcam with both devices.
