How do I get a vm to detect integrated camera?

Integrated cameras typically show up as USB devices. VMware will allow you to connect the USB device to the virtual machine. Of course, the integrated camera driver will need to be installed to the VM guest operating system in order for this to work.

I have an IBM ThinkPad T500 running Windows 7, and a Windows 7 VM running through VMWare Player. Nevermind the why. How do I get the integrated camera to be detected by the VM?
