What it does

This policy setting allows you to turn off the Insert Screenshot feature. If you enable this policy setting, you will turn off the Insert Screenshot feature found in Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Word. This setting does not affect the screen clipping feature found in Microsoft OneNote or the Print Screen key on your keyboard. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the Insert Screenshot feature in Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Word will be available. This feature allows users to insert both screen clippings and the contents of an entire active window.

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.
