Thanks

I honestly only care about connecting only the webcam for proctorU for schools 
exams sigh. Unfortunately ProctorU can only run on win or Mac and I only run 
Qubes on my daily driver. I can install win7 on another SSD but I would really 
hate to reboot back & forth between win7 and Qubes. It's much more practical to 
have the win appvm running along with the rest of my other appvms.  But at 
least USB works when attaching the USB controller. I think there's a special 
USBIP driver for windows that must be installed first with USBIP

Big thumbs up for the hotspot suggestion. I just tested it and it works. I am 
always anti-wifi without a VPN unless it's my home wifi. I always tether into 
any machine when I am outside..

It should and I have an Android. I installed the Android drivers. The tether 
network adapter just stays as "identifying network" and never actually connects 
through. But I definitely didn't think of using the hotspot.

Wow just the right hardware setup for any Qubes hvm. My daily driver is a 
Lenovo E5 model. No 2usb controllers for me unfortunately.. I appreciate your 
feedback and your great help.
