This defect has been known for well over a year - I was told it would get fixed in an updated to Fusion. Never happened in 11 ... now in the 2nd FixPack in 11.5 (the .2) it is still NOT FIXED.
Has VMWare Fusion decided NOT to support Ubuntu (the issue is across various versions of Ubuntu - but now I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS). Works fine in 10.
The issue (but known bug since service has told me) is that the WebCam goes down to like 0.25 FPS ....
Anyone know what's up ... this is quite upsetting. And I think after more than a year it should have been fixed ...
