The built-in webcam on this new-to-me Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 5th gen isn’t working, and doesn’t seem to be recognized by Manjaro in any way that I can see. It’s possible this is a hardware issue - I didn’t think to test it in Windows before installing over the Windows partition - but I’d like to ensure that I’ve done everything possible to resolve it if it is a software problem. According to the Arch Wiki page for this laptop, the webcam should work, and there are no notes on that page about troubleshooting or issues.
$ ls -l /dev/video*
zsh: no matches found: /dev/video*
Not sure if this is relevant, but it does mention video:
$ mhwd -li

dmesg | grep -i for video, webcam, and v4l returns no results.
System information from inxi -zv8 (I don’t see anything in here that looks like a webcam, but I’m no expert.)
