Allow Desktop, Window, and Tab capture by these origins

Computer and userIntune-readyScreenCaptureAllowedByOrigins

Supported on Microsoft Edge version 97, Windows 7 or later

155.0.4283.62

What it does

Setting the policy lets you set a list of URL patterns that can use Desktop, Window, and Tab Capture. Leaving the policy unset means that sites won't be considered for an override at this scope of Capture. This policy isn't considered if a site matches a URL pattern in any of the following policies: '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). If a site matches a URL pattern in this policy, the 'ScreenCaptureAllowed' (Allow or deny screen capture) isn't considered. For detailed information on valid url patterns, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322. This policy only matches based on origin, so any path in the URL pattern is ignored. 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: ScreenCaptureAllowedByOriginsDesc
