So I have a USB Webcam, 2 arduinos and a 433mhz radio transmitter and receiver with 4 pins. USB uses 4 pins too. So, I was wondering if I could have the webcams pins hooked up to the transmitter and have the USB-A hooked up to my computer and its pins to the receiver and be able to use the webcam in a program like Photo Booth or something. I want to know if this is feasible and if it is feasible than a little bit of guidance.
Probably not feasible.
Why don't you think its feasible?
The inexpensive 433 MHz radios have a maximum bit rate of maybe 4000 bits/second.
Streaming video data typically requires several million bits per second.
Only one Arduino can cope with a web cam and that[s the Yun. And it[s not about numbers of pins take a look at how "USB" works.

Okay, thanks! I do know how Universal Serial Bus Works, the radios just happen to have 4 pins. Well, Im gonna buy a Yun!

How does that solve the radio link problem? I also think it's too slow for video.
It is way too slow for video by a factor of several magnitudes. There is not enough bandwidth in that frequency band to support a video transmission and to try would be illegal.
The only way to use this range of frequencies to transmit is to become a radio ham and get a licence.

That comment would suggest to me that you don't know how USB works. Except perhaps only on the most superficial level.
