For security reasons, the requestFullscreen() web API requires a prior user gesture ("transient activation") to be called or it fails. Users' personal settings can allow certain origins to call this API without a prior user gesture. This policy supersedes users' personal settings and allows matching origins to call the API without a prior user gesture. For detailed information about valid URL patterns, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322. Wildcards (*) are allowed. Origins matching both blocked and allowed policy patterns are blocked. Origins not specified by policy or user settings require a prior user gesture to call this API. Example value: https://www.example.com [*.]example.edu

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.
