Description
Allows you to set whether a user is prompted to grant a website access to their audio capture device. This policy applies to all URLs except for those configured in the AudioCaptureAllowedUrls list.
If you enable this policy or don't configure it (the default setting), the user is prompted for audio capture access except from the URLs in the AudioCaptureAllowedUrls list. These listed URLs are granted access without prompting.
If you disable this policy, the user is not prompted, and audio capture is accessible only to the URLs configured in AudioCaptureAllowedUrls.
This policy affects all types of audio inputs, not only the built-in microphone.
