Starting my VBox activates my webcam
Posted: 26. Aug 2011, 18:06
I have Win7 64-bit and am using VBox 4.1.2. My guest OS is Ubuntu.
When I start my Ubuntu VBox the light on my webcam comes on. Vbox says the webcam is not connected to my ubuntu OS (and I don't want it to) but also my Win7 box can't use the webcam anymore because it things something is using it.
Anyone encounter this problem and know how to fix it? I do actually use my webcam to video chat with people about a website we are working on an I want my Ubuntu session open at the same time to be able to log into the webserver and make edits and do linux stuff.
thanks for any help!
