I am realizing this is a bit older of a monitor. Ideally I would still be able to use the camera / mic in the monitor itself, but if this is not supported with the doc, would the solution be to purchase an additional webcam and connect that to the dock?

Your monitor is unique in that it has a permanently attached cable that has three connectors on the end. One mini-DisplayPort, one MagSafe, and one USB 2.0.

The mini-DisplayPort connector will only carry the video signal (I presume you are using a female mini-DP to male DP adapter to connect the cable to the dock).

In order for the monitor's built-in camera and microphone to work, you also have to connect the USB 2.0 connector from the monitor cable to one of the USB ports within the dock.
