Webcam not working after using Fusion 8.5

[PietR]

Macbook Pro, MacOS 10.12.5, Fusion 8.5

Does anybody have the issue that the Webcam on the MacBook no longer works after using VMware Fusion 8.5. The solution is to do a shutdown, restart of the Macbook to have it working again. Any other solutions available?

I this mean time, I suggest to use this workaround:

   KB Parallels: Facetime Camera stops working after starting Parallels Desktop

It is for Parallels but I can confirm it works on VMware Fusion 8.5 with macOS Sierra 10.12 on Macbook Pro 10.1.

Note that this workaround doesn't  fix the problem, it just make possible to use your camera without restart computer.
