Allow or Block Audio Capture Policy in MS Edge Browser using M365 Admin Center

The Audio Capture Allowed Policy in Microsoft Edge enhances privacy and security by regulating websites' access to users' microphones. IT administrators can enable or disable this policy through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, ensuring that only trusted sites can record sound. Disabling the policy prevents users from being prompted for microphone access, restricting audio capture to pre-approved websites listed under AudioCaptureAllowedUrls.

This approach helps organizations safeguard voice data, preventing unauthorized applications from listening in on conversations. Deploying the policy involves creating a configuration within the Microsoft Edge settings, assigning it to a specific group, and waiting up to eight hours for implementation.

To verify the policy deployment, administrators can check the Microsoft Intune Admin Center for real-time confirmation. Additionally, Event Viewer logs, particularly Event IDs 813 and 814, provide further assurance that the policy is successfully applied at the client level.

By following the setup steps, organizations can maintain strict control over microphone access, balancing usability with security. The policy impacts all audio input sources, not just built-in microphones, and offers a crucial layer of protection for sensitive conversations conducted via Edge browser.
