The maximum size, in bytes, that can be transferred between client and host via clipboard synchronization

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Google\Google Chrome\Remote access User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Google\Google Chrome\Remote access Description
If this policy is set, clipboard data sent to and from the host will be truncated to the limit set by this policy. If a value of 0 is set, then clipboard sync is disabled. This policy affects both remote access and remote support scenarios. This policy has no effect if it is not set. Setting the policy to a value that is not within the min/max range may prevent the host from starting. Please note that the actual upper bound for the clipboard size is based on the maximum WebRTC data channel message size which this policy does not control.

BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
