Description

When you enable Screen Capture Protection, remote content will be automatically blocked or hidden in screenshots and screen shares. 

  • Protects from functionalities such as PrtScn, Snipping Tools and third-party applications installed on the client. 
  • Secures a single session host or use Active Directory to manage different host pools centrally. 
  • Available for all Azure Virtual Desktop customers at no extra cost. 

Protection is enforced by verifying the Azure Virtual Desktop client's capabilities. If the user tries to connect with an unsupported client, Azure Virtual Desktop will deny the connection.
