Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Permit or deny screen capture User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Permit or deny screen capture Description
Setting the policy lets you set a list of URL patterns that can use Tab Capture. Leaving the policy unset means that sites aren't considered for an override at this scope of capture. This policy is not considered if a site matches a URL pattern in the 'SameOriginTabCaptureAllowedByOrigins' (Allow Same Origin Tab capture by these origins) policy. If a site matches a URL pattern in this policy, the following policies aren't considered: 'WindowCaptureAllowedByOrigins' (Allow Window and Tab capture by these origins), 'ScreenCaptureAllowedByOrigins' (Allow Desktop, Window, and Tab capture by these origins), 'ScreenCaptureAllowed' (Allow or deny screen capture). For detailed information on valid url patterns, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322. This policy only matches based on origin, so any path in the URL pattern is ignored. 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.
