Parallels Desktop and Mojave - No access to microphone or webcam

Hi Guys,

I have had a pretty awful experience trying to get a microphone and webcam working with Parallels desktop 14 and Mojave. I have been unable to make this work on my MacBook Pro 2018. Basically I keep getting told that I need permissions to be approved in the privacy settings. But they are never requested and do not show up there.

I really want to separate my work in a separate VM with it's own accounts in Skype for business etc.. that are away from my main laptop. Having a working microphone would be crucial to this.

I have talked to Parallels support and they have confirmed it is a bug, but will not provide a date when the bug will be resolved.

Has anyone else noticed this and if so, do they have any suggestions for work arounds
