What do I do to check where my problem is.

First job if nothing is happening is to find out the USB ID of your camera and google on it with "Linux" in the search.

If you do

tail -f /var/log/messages

and plug the camera in, look for something with the USB vendor:product ID in hex, eg, 0ABC:1234 mentioned.

Some webcams are supported by Fedora but most need an out-of-tree driver.
