Let Windows apps access the camera

This policy setting specifies whether Windows apps can access the camera.

If you choose the "User is in control" option, employees in your organization can decide whether Windows apps can access the camera by using Settings > Privacy on the device.

If you choose the "Force Allow" option, Windows apps are allowed to access the camera and employees in your organization cannot change it.

If you choose the "Force Deny" option, Windows apps are not allowed to access the camera and employees in your organization cannot change it.

If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, employees in your organization can decide whether Windows apps can access the camera by using Settings > Privacy on the device.

If an app is open when this Group Policy object is applied on a device, employees must restart the app or device for the policy changes to be applied to the app.
