Change/remove "Virtual Box" label of the integrated camera (while using host webcam in virtualbox)

I am using VirtualBox to run Ubuntu 20.04 and I am using the host webcam in it. However, I need to change the label/name of the webcam which by default has "VirtualBox" as a prefix on it.

Can anyone suggest how can I change the label/name of the webcam?

Solution 1:

Go to VirtualBox settings of the VM and click on USB. There enable USB Controller then select USB 3.0 and add USB filter for your webcam as below.

enter image description here

There is a possibility that your webcam may not show there(I personally verified this issue on many other Linux distributions), then follow this tutorial and then try adding the USB filter for the webcam as mentioned above.

Now start your virtual machine and you can check the changes using lsusb , there it will show the webcam properties exactly as you have on your host machine and no more "VirtualBox" prefix in the webcam label :D
