I would like to know how to use my laptop's built-in webcam with android x86 in virtualbox.

I already tried to launch the default "Camera" app that told me that I had to configure a SDCard, what I did with this tutorial : SD card virtualbox

But now I would like to know how to make the VM be aware of my webcam and let it be used by android.

I downloaded the plugin for USB2 hosts but the webcam does not appear in the devices list...

Thank you for your help!

If anyone is ever viewing this question, the solution for me was to install "Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack". You'll need to follow different setup procedure depending on your OS, however the extension pack itself is available from Oracle Virtualbox: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads.
