virtual box. How to change the name or leave the real name of the device when forwarding it to the virtual machine?

When forwarding a webcam in VirtualBox, "VirtualBox Webcam" is added to its name. I add

via Devices => Webcam 5f3d00b534aeb532776569.png

Via Devices => USB => CameraName, it will not work to add, although there is the name of the desired camera. Well, the camera itself is built into the laptop, and not connected externally via USB.
To remove the remaining traces of work in VirtualBox, I use VirtualBox Hardened Loader
But unfortunately it does not affect the webcam.

How to change the name of the camera - hide that it is forwarded through VirtualBox?
Well, or how to connect it via USB? - so "VirtualBox" is not added to the name

What you are doing is not a full-fledged forwarding, but a webcam emulation.
For a full-fledged forwarding, you need to either forward the usb device, or the entire root hub on which it hangs. How many used VirtualBox before, he always had problems with this. The easiest option for you is to use VMWare.
Or patch the guest webcam driver.
