Would a webcam like this work?

I thought it was interesting because its diameter is the same as a standard 1.25" eyepiece so it would not need an adapter and could just be inserted into the focusser after removing the lens (if this is possible at all)? I am not sure it is that simple though??
Meanwhile I got the camera bracket for my compact digital camera and it seems to work fine although I could only test it for 5 minutes before clouds came up and now they are even worse. But I could attach the camera fine and I could shortly see Jupiter on the camera screen.
Thanks for your opinion!
