VM Fusion and Webcam use

I recently bought a MacBook and am getting used to using OSX. I bought a laptop as I'm going to study abroad for 6 months, and a portable computer is just easier to take with me when I leave. I was pleased that this laptop has a webcam integrated in the screen (or well, above it), so that I can chat with my friends back home. On the Mac version of msn, webcam is not available yet. SO I installed VM Fusion on OSX (which basically means that you can run Windows parallel to OSX), just so that I could use Windows Live Messenger to chat with my friends using a webcam (I'm such a nerd). Anyway, turns out Windows doesn't respond to the webcam (it can't find it). I was wondering if anyone knows how I can solve this problem...? When it comes to computers I'm a little clueless. (I don't have an installation CD for the webcam by the way).

Thanks!

From the menus, Virtual Machine > USB > Connect built-in iSight to make Fusion use it, instead of OS X applications.
Have you tried aMSN on OS X side?
