Camera in Android Oreo emulator

As said by @dythim you click on Tools->Android-> AVD Manager then you chose the AVD to edit, if the camera feature is not on the first screen but you can see Show advanced Settings then click on the button to show advanced settings. For camera option choose Webcam0 as value to use for front and back cameras.

In the Verify Configuration screen, click on [Advanced Options] and you should see:

And make sure that Camera Back is set to 'VirtualScene'.
