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:

I too would love to see a solution to this. Right now it appears that it is a coding issue on the Teams side as the sdk allows for access to the usb webcam and other apps can see my Logitech C920. I also tried using Edge and I am able to access more camera options such as individually choosing which rear camera it uses, but it still cannot see the usb webcam, probably because Edge doesnt have the code implemented either.
