VirtualBox guest additions from the "CD" that comes with VirtualBox works better than what you can get from `apt`.

Another thing which should be done is installing Extension Pack - it is needed at least to allow guest machine to access laptop camera. [Here](https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/virtualbox/6.0/user/intro-installing.html) is detailed instruction. Then camera can be enabled in Devices menu of VirtualBox guest.

If performance is weak here are some tips to try for increasing it:
* Change power plan to high performance - for host and guest machine.
* Run VirtualBox as administrator.
* Do not use too many processors (4 should be enough).
