I cannot use my camera then ?

✅ YES, you can use a camera in Genymotion, but the method depends on your product and platform. On Genymotion Desktop, your host webcam is supported through the Media Injection widget, while OBS Virtual Camera is not supported on Windows (Camera and Media Injection, How to use OBS Virtual Camera with Genymotion).

  • Genymotion Desktop: open the Media Injection widget, click GRANT ACCESS, then choose your host webcam in the Camera list.
  • Genymotion Desktop on Windows: OBS Virtual Camera does not work.
  • Genymotion PaaS: the Media Injection camera feature is not available at this time.
  • Genymotion SaaS: you can use a browser camera source, including OBS Virtual Camera in Chrome.

Which Genymotion product are you using, and on which operating system?
