Question

supressing privacy pop-up dialog with mms.cfg

hello,

I have a situation similar to this post (May 2012): 

Re: Flash mms.cfg file doesn't want to apply.

highlighted a section of the response I had a question about:

AVHardwareDisable=1

AVHardwareEnabledDomain=domain.com

"Also one clarification. The privacy pop-up dialog will appear at least once for every site allowed."

I'm using IE11 to load a web cam capture module with a Flash fallback (Flash 32.0.0.156).  The webcam module is ran through a Citrix ICA connection catering to multiple users.  The module functions but would like to completely suppress the privacy pop-up dialog from ever appearing.  The post above seems to indicate the privacy popup must appear at least once?  Wanted to reconfirm this is still true for Flash 32.0.0.156.  If so, is there any new way either within the scope of the mms.cfg or IE11 that suppress the privacy pop-up from ever appearing?

    I don't believe that we provide a mechanism for suppressing the allow dialog.

    You can find a list of available configuration flags here:

    Given where we are in the lifecycle of Flash, I question the usefulness of using it as a fallback, particularly in the context of IE11 on Win10.

    I'm unclear on whether the dialog you're talking about is ours or IE's (I think it's ours, but a screenshot would clarify), but personally, I'd probably come down against suppressing the camera/mic permission dialog in either event.  If it's in IE, there might be a registry key or something you could set, but you'd need to look at Microsoft's docs to figure it out.
