Help Connecting/Using An External USB Digital Microscope

I am trying to use a USB Digital Microscope (Carson Zorb)

Phone is Samsung Galaxy S6.

Bought an OTG cable. When I plug the camera/OTG cable into the phone, the microscopes LED lights up, but I have not been able to view it on my phone screen. I have the app "USB Camera Trial", not sure if that is what I should be using.

I also downloaded "USB Host Diagnostics". Supposedly this will tell me if my phone allows me to do this?
The results read:
KERNEL
Claims support: Yes
Device detected: Yes

VERDICT
OS support: Yes
3rd party apps:

It states the software for this is "Windows only". Doesn't even support Mac apparently. So probably unless the manufacturer makes a specific app for Android, I don't think it's going to work.

Oh, so it's not like a 'webcam-is-a-webcam-is-a-webcam-kind-of-thing'?

Makes sense though that the camera would have to load some drivers onto the device.

Well thanks for your help however!
