The Xbox One does support webcams, so it wouldn't surprise me if the Series X/S might too.

Hello there!

Since those webcams are listed on the official website stating that they can be used on the Xbox then they should be working fine with Xbox Series X|S; However I recommend that you contact support for more information Contact us | Xbox Support.

We are sorry to hear that. It seems that the Nexigo N60 webcam is compatible with Xbox Series S but when you got to stream, the webcam is not recognized by the system of Xbox Series S.

3. Try plugging the webcam into a different device to see if it works.

No such thing as an Xbox One Series X. The Xbox One family of consoles has an S and an X but are still just Xbox Ones. You need the Series family of consoles. The Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X. These are different from Xbox One S or Xbox One X.

The "One" and "Series" are the console types.

Hello 🖤𝑌𝑜 𝑆𝑜𝑦 𝑆𝑝𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑧🖤,

We appreciate for your patience.

You can try checking if your camera is set to On in the guide by going to Capture & share > Live streaming > Camera options. If that doesn’t work, you can try validating your webcam is working with Skype on the console.

Not all webcams are compatible with Xbox Series S. You need a 1080p webcam that has a YUY2 or NV12 format to stream with it. Most Logitech and Microsoft LifeCam webcams have this format1. Some webcams compatible with Xbox Series S include Logitech C925-e, Logitech C920, Razer Kiyo, Logitech C270, Logitech C625, Angetube 967 with Xbox One S and Nexigo N660 with Xbox One S.
