    To expand on Cindy's answer, neither Unity, nor ARCore, ARKit, or OpenXR support AR using a webcam as the camera. We recommend XR Simulation.

    I want to second this. Having XR simulation simply use the webcam as the camera feed input would be such an amazing feature to shorten the development roundtrip.
