Here's a direct link to a bug report about VirtualBox not supporting
USB web cams:

The good news is that the latest releases 3.0+ of VB might work
better.  Given that this is a known
problem with VirtualBox, there is no point in doing anything within
SoaS without testing the absolute
latest VB release.

Natively booted MacBooks under SoaS is a different story.
