To scroll up and down within the VirtualBox guest machine window, you can utilize different methods depending on the operating system you are using within the guest machine. Here, we will discuss the methods for Windows, Linux, and macOS guest machines.
For Windows guest machines, you can scroll up and down within the VirtualBox guest machine window using the following methods:
1. Keyboard Method:
– Press the "Scroll Lock" key on your keyboard to enable mouse scrolling within the guest machine window.
– Once enabled, move your mouse pointer to the desired location within the window and scroll using the mouse wheel or the two-finger scroll gesture on a touchpad.
2. Mouse Integration Method:
– Ensure that the "Mouse Integration" feature is enabled in VirtualBox. You can check this by going to the "Machine" menu, selecting "Disable Mouse Integration" if it is enabled, and vice versa.
– With mouse integration enabled, you can directly scroll within the guest machine window using your mouse wheel or the two-finger scroll gesture on a touchpad.
For Linux guest machines, you can scroll up and down within the VirtualBox guest machine window using the following methods:
1. Keyboard Method:
– Press the "Scroll Lock" key on your keyboard to enable mouse scrolling within the guest machine window.
– Once enabled, move your mouse pointer to the desired location within the window and scroll using the mouse wheel or the two-finger scroll gesture on a touchpad.
2. Mouse Integration Method:
– Ensure that the "Mouse Integration" feature is enabled in VirtualBox. You can check this by going to the "Machine" menu, selecting "Disable Mouse Integration" if it is enabled, and vice versa.
– With mouse integration enabled, you can directly scroll within the guest machine window using your mouse wheel or the two-finger scroll gesture on a touchpad.
For macOS guest machines, you can scroll up and down within the VirtualBox guest machine window using the following methods:
1. Keyboard Method:
– Press the "Scroll Lock" key on your keyboard to enable mouse scrolling within the guest machine window.
– Once enabled, move your mouse pointer to the desired location within the window and scroll using the mouse wheel or the two-finger scroll gesture on a touchpad.

– With mouse integration enabled, you can directly scroll within the guest machine window using your mouse wheel or the two-finger scroll gesture on a touchpad.
It is important to note that the availability of certain features, such as mouse integration, may depend on the version of VirtualBox and the guest additions installed within the guest machine. Therefore, it is recommended to keep VirtualBox and the guest additions up to date to ensure the smooth functioning of scrolling within the guest machine window.
To scroll up and down within the VirtualBox guest machine window, you can use either the keyboard method (by enabling "Scroll Lock") or the mouse integration method (by enabling mouse integration and using the mouse wheel or two-finger scroll gesture). The specific method may vary based on the operating system running within the guest machine.
