I am unable to connect my integrated webcam to Windows 11 guest on Workstation Pro, sometimes it popups the message below. VMware Tools is installed.
Thanks and regards

Thanks
No way? OK...
Hello.
I am getting the exact same error message on a Dell Inspiron 7306 laptop dated 2022.
This is what is shown in the logs as error:
vmx [msg.usb.connectFailedErr] The connection for the USB device 'Microdia Integrated_Webcam_HD' was unsuccessful. Driver error.
This shows up as soon as I try to connect the camera from the "Player / Removable Devices / Microdia Integrated_Webcam_HD" option in the running VM.
To answer the same questions:
i. Yes the camera works perfectly under the Host in Windows 11
ii. It never worked in the Windows 11 Gest
iii. I did not find the Microdia webcam driver on their website nor on Dell's website, so I cannot install it.
From the message, it seems to be really only related to this webcam hardware. It seems that the support should be able to reproduce this error easily if trying on a computer that has the same webcam.
Thanks for any help.
