Looking for a way to configure the "Share the screen" permission present in permissions for individual sites via GPO. I am aware of this doc but I can't find anything for setting this permission. Specifically, to block it for all sites with an explicit allow list.

The "Preferences" option won't suffice as permissions are stored in permissions.sqllite and are not part of the about:config preferences. The "Permissions" grouping lacks... the majority of the possible site permissions as well.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

I'm not sure why there isn't an option to Block sites that want to use screensharing, or set that as the default permission rather than Always Ask.

Maybe file a new issue: https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/issues
