Description

Control whether sites can capture video.

If enabled or not configured (default), the user will be asked about video capture access for all sites except those with URLs configured in the VideoCaptureAllowedUrls policy list, which will be granted access without prompting.

If you disable this policy, the user isn't prompted, and video capture is only available to URLs configured in VideoCaptureAllowedUrls policy.

This policy affects all types of video inputs, not only the built-in camera.
