What it does

For security reasons, the requestFullscreen() web API requires a prior user gesture ("transient activation") to be called or it fails. Users' personal settings can allow certain origins to call this API without a prior user gesture. This policy supersedes users' personal settings and allows matching origins to call the API without a prior user gesture. For detailed information about valid URL patterns, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322. Wildcards (*) are allowed. Origins matching both blocked and allowed policy patterns are blocked. Origins not specified by policy or user settings require a prior user gesture to call this API. Example value: https://www.example.com [*.]example.edu

The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
The generated payload is incomplete because one or more ADMX element values were not supplied: AutomaticFullscreenAllowedForUrlsDesc
