Policy
Allow or deny screen capture
Microsoft Edge
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
Supported OS tags: Windows7
If you enable this policy, or don't configure this policy, a webpage uses screen-share APIs (for example, getDisplayMedia() or the Desktop Capture extension API) for a screen capture. If you disable this policy, calls to screen-share APIs fail. For example, if you're using a web-based online meeting, video or screen sharing won't work. However, this policy isn't considered. (and a site will be allowed to use screen-share APIs) if the site matches an origin pattern in any of the following policies: 'ScreenCaptureAllowedByOrigins' (Allow Desktop, Window, and Tab capture by these origins), 'WindowCaptureAllowedByOrigins' (Allow Window and Tab capture by these origins), 'TabCaptureAllowedByOrigins' (Allow Tab capture by these origins), 'SameOriginTabCaptureAllowedByOrigins' (Allow Same Origin Tab capture by these origins).
