How to enable the laptop's build-in web camera, to be available on windows 8 installed in VM Virtual box. My web cam is working fine in windows 7(host). For my linux VM box it works fine as well. Any suggestion?

I would assume the producedure is the same as for Ubuntu:
- Make sure the virtual machine is not running and your webcam is not being used.
- Bring up the main VBox window and in the details tab for your Win7 machine click USB.
- Make sure "Enable USB Controller" is selected. Also make sure that "Enable USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller" is selected too.
- Click the "Add filter from device" button (the cable with the '+' icon).
- Select your device from the list.
- Now click OK and start your VM.
