Did you run VBoxManage with the camera connected to the Guest? If so, what would it show if not connected (and not in use)?Ģ. Our VBoxManage results are similar, but why does it shows 'Current State: Busy' when the camera is not in use? I saw that both when the camera is connected and disconnected to the guest. I am not Virtual123, and I have no idea who that is.ġ. UPDATE: I now also tested with Logitech C270 and I have the same you for testing this and trying to help! Has ANYONE been able to use Microsoft LifeCam with Virtualbox? Please help, i have spent several weeks on this using different guests and versions of Virtualbox. I can use the camera in the Host, using either application, even when virtual box is running with the camera attached to the Guest (Should that work? I had expected the Guest to take ownership of the camera). Portable Webcam: Camera light turns on then off. Microsoft LifeCam software: 'No Camera found'Ģ. The camera is recognized in Device manager. I select the WebCam under devices (and not in USB devices). The camera works fine in the Host using two different applications: The virtual machine Guest is created from an image of the Host. I am trying to get my webcam, Microsoft LifeCam (USB), to work in a Windows 7 (64 bit) Guest on Windows 7 (64 bit) Host.
