Sorry for that. However, they were not duplicates. I added some information in every comment. See the last two lines yourself. I expected the sytem to display the latest one, not the whole history.
... USB Webcam works with Ubuntu host with "sudo virtualbox", if not directly. But the same doesnt work in Windows even with "run as administrator "(tested with Windows 7). Kindly provide a solution.

Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.
No preview is shown in the image while testing webcam.
