As a first step please have a look at the manual, chapter 9.7 for Webcam passthrough support.

This post is a duplicate. You've done it before, you have been warned before, please do not do it again. I will merge this question which was posted on the "OS X pre-releases"(?) with your previous question and move the whole thing to "OSX Hosts". This question has been answered. If the answer does not work, please say what exactly doesn't work. Don't repeat the question every month.
