[SOLVED] Cheese in VirtualBox guest can't find webcam

VirtualBox 6.0.20, host is Xubuntu 18.04, guest is Xubuntu 20.04. Cheese in the guest doesn't recognise my webcam. It just says "No device found".

When running Cheese from Terminal, I get this -
Code:

$ cheese
** Message: xx:xx:xx.xxx: cheese-application.vala:214: Error during camera setup: No device found


(cheese:1445): cheese-CRITICAL **: xx:xx:xx.xxx: cheese_camera_device_get_name: assertion 'CHEESE_IS_CAMERA_DEVICE (device)' failed

(cheese:1445): GLib-CRITICAL **: xx:xx:xx.xxx: g_variant_unref: assertion 'value != NULL' failed

** (cheese:1445): CRITICAL **: xx:xx:xx.xxx: cheese_preferences_dialog_setup_resolutions_for_device: assertion 'device != NULL' failed

guvcview in the same Xubuntu 20.04 guest does recognise the webcam and seems to work flawlessly.

Why doesn't it work in Cheese?
