Hide Webcam

Currently webcams can be redirected to VMware Agent side and be used as a virtual scanner for capturing images.
This policy setting prevents webcams from appearing in scanner selection menu of user interface.

If this policy setting is enabled, webcam hide mode will be enabled for all users of this computer.

If this policy setting is disabled, webcam hide mode will be disabled for all users of this computer.

If this policy setting is not configured, the webcam hide mode is determined by the similar user policy setting or via the settings interface.
