What is camera and microphone control?
It’s a browser DLP feature that controls which websites and online applications can access a user’s camera or microphone based on policies set by your administrators.
When a site requests camera or microphone access, the feature checks that request against your organization’s policies. If the site isn’t approved, the access is blocked automatically.
How do you control camera and microphone access in the NordLayer Browser?
Administrators can easily create rules that limit camera and microphone use inside the browser. They can:
- Allow or block camera access by domain
- Allow or block microphone access by domain
- Create lists of websites where camera and microphone access is allowed
