Webcam in Fusion 6.0.6 with Windows 7 Professional

I am currently running Fusion 6.0.6 with Windows 7 Professional on mac 10.11.2. I am trying to use an application that requires a webcam but I am unable to get any video to display. I am using a logitech C270. I just got it earlier today. It was never used on the mac side. I downloaded the drivers and installed them. Please help.Screen Shot 2016-02-05 at 8.58.59 PM.png

Hi,

Fusion 6.x isn't supported to work at El Capitan, it is already remarkable that you got that part to work.

While I hope for you that somebody comes up with an answer to your camera issue I would not exactly expect an answer to come.

Is the setup software from Logitech recognizing your camera? Can you see the camera in the windows device manager?

It's not required to have the camera work on the OS X side in order to have it work in the guest, the windows VM communicates directly with the camera.
