How to get a virtual camera to work? the host is Lenovo W550s running CentOS 7.1, guest is Windows 7 Professional

With VMware Workstation Pro 11 and now 12 never got 'virtual camera' to work.  Do not find documentation, only advice, this should work, exist.

Active host computer is Lenovo W550s running CentOS 7.1.  Camera works very well in host in CentOS in the cheese.  As a removable device, it appears as "Chicony Camera integrated".  But appears later in the guest PC Window 7 Professional.  VMware Tools in the comments are the latest version, now for VMware Workstation Pro 12.

Any chance install USB driver for camera (not found), so not excited to get 'virtual camera' to work.

Intended use is GoToMeeting.

What happens when you connect the device to the prompt?

I did a test with my laptop HP - Win7 host - player 12.0

Guest - VMware Tools Win7 updated at the latest.

Built-in laptop webcam shows as a "Webcam Chicony HP HD"

First image - tooltip for the player as I hover.

Right-click the menu actions.

After selecting the connection (unplug the host)

When the guest saw the unit it is passed to Windows Update to search for a driver... and he did take a few minutes... but he was installing finally successfully.

Windows features in the comments.

And finally a picture taken with the webcam works inside the guest.

  • With the help of HA, how to get VM to go back to the original host?

    Hi, I have a simple EPS with only 2 ESXi 4 guests.  I have set up an HA Cluster and put the two hosts in the cluster.

    Be just a small env which will probably grow about 8 VM, I don't see the need for installation DRS for any balancing of the resource.  I tell myself that I have bleed 4 VMs per host and keep things simple.

    However, with just the cluster HA, I see not a framework to have the virtual machine back to the host of origin after a failover, assuming that the original host returns to the top.  Am I missing something?

    Or do I me configuration DRS Vmotion have returned to the original host.  IM ok with that if I can configure the DRS cluster not to automatically move my VM here if he thinks there is a resource problem.

    So basically I want to configure a cluster where if one of my hosts breaks down, it moves and start these VMS on another host (to do this, HA), however, How to configure the virtual machine to go back to the failed host, once it comes back online automatically?

    Of course, I can manually move them back, is that what most people do?

    Thank you

    Mike

    You have to manually vmotion virtual machines to the original host - there is no way that I know how to automate this process. DRS even no it will not move automatically if all virtual machines receive the necessary resources.

  • How can I get my web cam to work in Acrobat Connect Pro?

    It is in fact the question of an end user that I'm unable to answer to...

    We use Adobe Connect for online language teaching, the end user is one of the students.

    I can't find the right answer of support to give him.

    Problem:

    My camera does not work when I connect to Adobe rooms but camera works very well with other software.

    Even if I knew that my old camera was working very well, yesterday I advanced and bought a new camera.

    I thought that maybe my software of the webcam may have had a problem, so I bought a unit of a different type with different software.

    Even after removing all the old software, same result:

    I assumed that the problem could be caused by my software firewall and security, so once I tried to change the permissions for Adobe and my Webcam, but that did not work.

    Once I restarted my computer just before the class, and then turned off my firewall completely, so there is no interference, but nothing helped. I'm totally stumped.

    Is there someone else has a similar problem?   Has anyone found a solution?

    I run Windows Vista with McAfee Internet Security Software.  I have always restart the computer prior to class and don't open any other program other than Google Chrome.

    I have now a new Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Camera with Webcam LifeCam 3.5 software.

    I test my camera before going online.  It still works fine.   Then I stopped the program of the camera and the connection class.

    When I "connect webcam' in the room, the light on my camera (which suggests that it is under tension), but only a black image is transmitted to the House.

    I suspect that the rate is higher than 20 and is probably 30 images. It is too high for the Flash to accept.  Most webcams at 15 as the standard stream. So, you will need to call technical support Microsoft for this camera see what are the specs and how to change it.

    I see on Amazon.com, it says this: "sensor capture 720 p video true HD quality up to 30 frames per second."

    So high default value is 30 that is why you found the black box... a high frame rate.

    You must go to settings or call Microsoft to learn how to change the fps to 15. You notice it says 'up to 30 frames per second", so that tells me there is a way to change this setting.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I found something that may be of interest to you. It is about 3 G on your laptop:

    When you insert SIM the laptop must be turned off, because normally hot - plug the SIM card does not work
    The 3G module is set on/OFF with the cut-out like the other two standards wireless WLAN and BT wireless
    By default, the wireless switch is set to OFF
    Your laptop is preinstalled new FN + F8 tool with which you can switch all devices or on/OFF switch, none of the 3 devices individually
    After each start of the laptop (if the message was not disabled) there will be an information window informing you that the 3G antenna shuts off if the Tablet PC is used in secondary portrait mode (for Tablet laptop computer only)

    Please check it and also read s manuals carefully. It must be described how to use 3G on your laptop Portege.

    Good bye

  • How can I get a virtual machine to see the graphic material?

    Environment:

    1. I use a computer HP Pavilion dv8327us laptop is equipped with a nVidia GeForce Go 7600 graphics card.

    2. I am running VMWare Workstation 7.x

    3. I'm under Ubuntu 10.04 as a virtual machine.

    4. I am running Windows XP Pro SP3 as the host machine.

    Location:

    1. the virtual machine seems not to be able to use advanced graphics card features.

    2. the VM sees the card as a SVGA II adapter.

    3. the virtual machine can't determine the system LCD screen refresh rate.

    4. the virtual machine can't do use an external display.

    Workarounds failed:

    1. an attempt to solve this problem by installing the latest nvidia 260.19.44 graphics driver failed. The installation of this driver has resulted in an error message indicating that no supported hardware can be detected. The conclusion I draw from this is that either or however the machine emule virtual graphic adapter in the system is not quite the same as what is emulated.

    Question:

    1 is wrong to think that we could install drivers of graphics cards in a virtual machine and wait to turn the virtual machine to see the graphics card in the same way as the host machine? If Yes, then how can we do?

    2. is it possible for a virtual machine to use an external monitor?

    Thank you.

    If the VCVM is on the only shared storage remove the virtual machine from the old host and enter it on the new host by connecting the VI client to each host. TO register to browse the store of data and right click the .vmx file and click Save

    If not on the shared storage (but I hope it is) you can copy the files from the virtual machine (*.vmdk and.) VMX file) from one host to another using the SCP. Then connect to the new host using the VI client and enter the VM VC
