Policy overview

Key metadata and intent for this policy.

Category
Microsoft Edge
Supported on
Microsoft Edge version 81, Windows 7 or later

Supported OS tags: Windows7

This policy controls the audio process sandbox. If you enable this policy, the audio process runs sandboxed. If you disable this policy, the audio process runs unsandboxed and the WebRTC audio-processing module will run in the renderer process. This leaves users open to security risks related to running the audio subsystem unsandboxed. If you don't configure this policy, the default configuration for the audio sandbox is used, which might differ based on the platform. This policy is intended to give enterprises flexibility to disable the audio sandbox if they use security software setups that interfere with the sandbox.
