    <p>
        When the webcam is detached from the host the emulated webcam
        device is automatically detached from the guest only if the
        webcam is streaming video. If the emulated webcam is inactive it
        should be manually detached using the <userinput>VBoxManage
        controlvm <varname>VM-name</varname> webcam
        detach</userinput> command.
