Hey everyone! I'm trying to connect a 3.5 inch USB screen to a webcam that has its own power bank, so I can view the camera feed directly on the screen without using a PC. I'm not quite sure what components to look for, or how to set this up with the screen I currently have. I've included a photo of the screen I'm using for reference. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Could be a case of needing to adjust your approach. If your goal is to view the webcam feed without a PC, consider looking for cameras that offer a simpler interface, like integrated screens or wireless streaming options.
I’m sensing you want a standalone setup with a camera at the front and a display at the back. You might need a different kind of screen, possibly one that supports HDMI if you're using a compatible camera. The USB micro screen you linked likely won't work with a webcam.
Unfortunately, you can't just connect a USB screen directly to a webcam. Webcams typically output a USB datastream that needs some sort of computer to decode it. If your webcam had HDMI output, you might have a way to do this, but most webcams don’t offer that capability.
