Restrict users from taking screenshots

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello there, is there any way to restrict users from taking a screenshot of a powerapps aplication? Is there any function or option for this? Or is there any way to do it outside the powerapp? 

I have the same question (0)

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    I don't think this is really feasible. You could try and disable print screen via Windows Registry and disable other windows programs that capture screens. But you'd also have to prevent users from installing other programs that do this as well. Some of these methods are described here

     

    Preventing your users from screen capturing for other purposes outside Power Apps would cause a major inconvenience, so keep that in mind.

    Hello, 

    I am jumping on this thread to avoid creating duplicates. Was there any updates to this? 

    I have a similar situation where a customer in FmcG wants to prevent employees from screenshotting / copy pasting formulas from a power apps solutions. Is there any way this could be done natively in power apps?

    Best

    Hello,

     

    Looks like is not posible, either with Javascript. Check this out:

    This something that can be handled using managed apps in IOS/Android through a Protection Policy within Intune.
