Troubleshooting • Rpi Zero 2w otg vs usb

What am I doing wrong ?

I am quite experienced with Rpi 4 but have great difficulty with Rp Zero 2W.

I cannot get the USB to work as a ...usb!

There are 2 mini/micto usb ports on the board. The (righthand) port ...nearest corner is
labelled power in. The other is this otg stuff! which is where I am stuck.
I just wanta standard usb

Connect to Zero (headless) with ssh & edit the /boot/config.txt file (dtoverlay=dwc)
& the /boot/cmdline (modules-load=dwc2,g_ether) file as described in
many rpi help sites.

Connect usb camera on (left) port. lsusb - gives
Bus 001 Device 001:......root hub. I think this refers the
power port. Try a reboot and redo lsusb - same message.

What am I missing ? Should lsusb show more ..as it does on a Rpi4 ?

Thanks in advance
