Allow the WebHID API on these sites
Supported versions
- On Windows and macOS since 100 or later
Description
Setting the policy lets you list the URL patterns that specify which sites can ask users to grant them access to a HID device.
Leaving the policy unset means DefaultWebHidGuardSetting applies for all sites, if it's set. If not, users' personal settings apply.
For URL patterns that don't match the policy, the following values are applied in order of precedence:
WebHidBlockedForUrls (if there is a match),
DefaultWebHidGuardSetting (if set), or
Users' personal settings.
URL patterns must not conflict with WebHidBlockedForUrls. Neither policy takes precedence if a URL matches both patterns.
For detailed information about valid url patterns, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322. * is not an accepted value for this policy.
