Quick Answer
The correct answer is Camera and Microphone. In Microsoft Intune, these settings are found under Device restrictions for Windows 10, specifically within the General or Hardware category, where you toggle each feature to "Block" to disable the hardware components at the OS level. This configuration is a core task for the Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator MD-102 exam, which tests your ability to enforce device compliance and security controls through policy. A common trap on the exam is confusing hardware restrictions with data or connectivity settings—for example, selecting Bluetooth or Clipboard instead. Remember the memory tip: "Block the lens and the mic, not the link or the clip." This directly aligns with the search intent for blocking camera and microphone on Windows 10 with Intune, ensuring you focus on the physical input devices rather than peripheral or data transfer features.
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of protect devices. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Your company uses Microsoft Intune for device management. You need to configure a Windows 10 device restriction policy that blocks the use of the camera and microphone on all devices. Which settings should you configure?
Camera and Microphone
These settings block the camera and microphone hardware.
Bluetooth and Nearby Share
Why wrong: These settings control Bluetooth and sharing, not camera or microphone.
Copy and paste and Clipboard
Why wrong: These settings control data transfer, not hardware.
Location and Messaging
Why wrong: Location and Messaging are separate settings not related to camera/microphone.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Camera and Microphone
Option B is correct because the 'Camera' and 'Microphone' settings under Device restrictions control these hardware features. Option A is wrong because 'Bluetooth' and 'Nearby Share' are different features. Option C is wrong because 'Copy and paste' and 'Clipboard' are data settings. Option D is wrong because 'Location' and 'Messaging' are not related.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
