Camera and Microphone not appearing under Security & Privacy

Bit poster
After the 14.0.1 (45154) on Mojave 10,14 Beta (18A384a) neither the Microphone nor Camera from my iMac are shared with Windows anymore.
I followed the suggested steps on the screenshot to no avail. Notice that these were working in the previous version of Parallels on the same Mojave Beta.
This may be a bug. Any ideas on how to solve it?

I am seeing the same thing now. I use my microphone daily for work. Need this resolved asap please! Was working in the beta version just fine!
 
I have the same problem after upgrading to mojave. This is the non beta version of mojave

Same problem. Is this being logged as an issue somewhere by Parallels? Can we get some confirmation? Would like to still use my webcam and audio off my display in Win 10.
 
Same here for mic that I need for daily concall...
I have submitted a ticket. Will update if I get any reply.

I reinstalled Mojave from scratch and it worked again. But suddenly it stopped working. Even if parallels now is listed in the camera and microphone sections of the privacy settings and is selected there.
 
Seeing same problem as well and also need it urgently for work.
Attaching screenshot showing that Parallels is not provided as an option.

Hi guys, @AlbertH2, we do escalate this issue to Engineering with maximum urgency.
Whoever can send technical report via Help menu > Send Technical Data... > please post the report ID here.
Thank you!
 
Tech support has provided a workaround if you happen to have a USB mic in hand (unfortunately I don't). You may connect the USB mic and set it to connect to Windows only via PD preference setting. I think in such way the USB mic can avoid MacOS privacy. I have tried a bluetooth headset but still blocked by MacOS privacy.
 
I have a logitech BRIO camera and if I assign it to the VM I can use it as a camera. But this is only a temporary solution.
 
Please don't forget the case when someone deliberately doesn't want to share the mic and camera with windows. I would not like to see parallels always complaining about it.
