Would like to be able to use the USB C port on the back of the MK4 to connect a webcam for Prusa Connect

Hi, I am sorry, this cannot be done, the buddy board does not have enough compute power to push images up to the web. If we could, we'd do it. Please check out the ESP cam project https://help.prusa3d.com/guide/esp-camera-for-prusa-connect_390199 or talk to the community on how to utilize other hardware to use with your printer. For example a raspberry pi with a webcam can be set up using this guide (not officially supported) https://nvtkaszpir.github.io/prusa-connect-camera-script/
