You might need to edit some GPO on the Local PC and Virtual Machine to access the camera. This page walks you through editing the GPO and settings to redirect the camera. Please check and see if it resolves your issues.

Hope this helps! If you are still having issues please let me know and we can work with you to further troubleshoot.

Hello Thank you for your question and reaching out. It looks its detected but could not find Drivers , Hence Please try install WebCam driver on Azure VM On your Azure VM : Edit the local group policy Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Device and Resource Redirection -> Disable the setting of policy Do not allow supported Plug and Play device redirection. On your Client PC : Edit the local group policy from the path: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Connection Client\RemoteFX USB Device Redirection -> Enable the setting of policy Allow RDP redirection of other supported RemoteFX USB devices from this computer. --If the reply is helpful, please Upvote and Accept as answer--
