How to block screen recording in the Gaming app

Question

Hello everyone, I am looking to see if it is possible through the endpoint manager to block the below setting so that my users can not screen record:

I know I can block the Gaming app altogether, but this was disabling my users access to customize notifications from Outlook, etc. Please let me know if this is something that can be done through Endpoint. Thank you.

Answer 1

To disable the Game DVR feature, right-click the Start menu and press the Settings option. In the Settings menu, press Gaming > Captures to access the Game DVR settings menu. In the Background Recording section, click the Record in the background while I’m playing a game slider, making sure that the slider is in the Off position.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Agree with above replies. We can try to block Game DVR (desktop only) in your profile. This setting will disable Windows Game recording and broadcasting. For more information, please refer to:
