How can I select an external USB camera to use for Android Teams?
External USB OTG cameras work on other android apps, but I do not see any options in Android Teams to select an external camera.

    @Ryan O'Neill ,

    I did a test in my Android device and searched the official document but unfortunately we did not find any options to external USB camera device for Android Teams.

    As a workaround, you can try to run a 3rd party app that can see the webcam & then share that via Teams. For more discussion about it, you can refer to:
