    Hi all,

    My experience is in the mobile field, so not sure how to create a plugin for windows.

    the functionality I need to achieve: [Disable taking screenshots] same as in Android apps.

    I found that I can do that if I called the following function:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. Windows.UI.ViewManagement.ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView().IsScreenCaptureEnabled = false;
    as I am using a Mac device, I only have the option to create a standalone version for windows, not UWP

    not sure if it is an easy task, and it is just me that don't know how, or it is harder than I can expect

    Thanks in advance

    That API will not work for non-UWP applications. ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView() will just return null.

    Yes, that will work on UWP apps. You just need to surround it in an #ifdef:

    Code (csharp):
    1. #if ENABLE_WINMD_SUPPORT && UNITY_WSA
    2. Windows.UI.ViewManagement.ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView().IsScreenCaptureEnabled = false;
    3. #endif
