Doing a search for "webcam" on the forum leads me to think that with newer (4.x) versions of VirtualBox, USB webcams no longer work. This is my experience as well. Does anyone have experience otherwise?
If you managed to get it working in VirtualBox 4.x, can you post how, or at the very least the type of webcam used and how it is connected? (For example, does it make a difference if connected to a USB hub versus the USB ports directly on the computer?)
The details of my experience where I failed to get it working are recorded here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=44897
Can guest VMs use a USB webcam?
