Disable taking screenshots
Microsoft Edge
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
Supported OS tags: Windows7
Controls if users can take screenshots of the browser page. If you enable this policy, users can't take screenshots using keyboard shortcuts or extension APIs. If you disable or don't configure this policy, users can take screenshots. As of Microsoft Edge version 154, enabling this policy also prevents extensions from attaching the debugger via 'chrome.debugger.attach()'. Note: Even if you disable screenshots using this policy, users might still be able to take screenshots using Web Capture within the browser or other methods outside of the browser. For example, using an operating system feature or another application.
