On the Home Tab, go to "Addons" and select Get Hardware support packages. Get the webcam one, and the generic OS video one.

Yeah, it works. On the Home Tab, I click the 'Add-Ons' and 'Get Hardware Support Packages'. After that I installed 'USB Webcams' and 'OS Generic Video Interface'. Thanks you. I apprecite it.

One more thing. Ok, it worked on Matlab 2016a version, but it didn't worked at 2015a ver. We followed same process on 2015a ver. but it didn't worked. By the way, we can see the webcam with "webcamlist" command on Matlab. Could be any problem with the build-in webcam driver? How can we determine what is the cause of the problem? Have you got any idea for that?

No idea - I don't have that version. I suggest that you just upgrade to R2017a and move on.
