Brostrend not working with webcam.
I have a Pi 3 1GB(into VCORE 3.1) which I can connect with fine, until you plug in the webcam. Logitech standard. IT works fine but maybe robs alot of power? It switches off or interfers with the required wifi dongle to pick up printer wifi from the shed.
The blue LED on the dongle comes on but doesn't flash like it should transfering data. Can't see it on the netwatcher either.
Is it a power or CPU issue? Thinking of getting either a new pi or a powered dongle.

How is the pi powered?
It powered with the stock genuine plug. Printing now so can't check what rating is on it.
It's running a 30mm fan connected direct to pins.

hm. Wonder if your webcam is being used in a inefficient mode
Try using
WebRTC (camera-streamer)I get CPU warnings with the pi plug. I tried another source and it gave a low voltage error, so main plug seems ok...
