I am using Remmina on a Linux laptop to access a remote Windows VM via RDP.

Would like to redirect my laptop webcam into the remote windows VM.

Is this possible?
 
Thank you for your reply. :)
Solutions exist for passthrough of USB camera.
but I have yet to find anything that covers passing through an integrated webcam on a laptop
 
When I tried something similar myself, my integrated laptop webcam showed up as USB device.
How else would a laptop webcam be connected to the motherboard? I would guess, your webcam is also an USB device.

Try: lsusb to show all your connected USB devices.
