` ](/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/gamepaddisconnected_event
"gamepaddisconnected") events will not fire.

##  Syntax

http

    
    
    Permissions-Policy: gamepad=<allowlist>;
    

` <allowlist> `

    

A list of origins for which permission is granted to use the feature. See [ `
Permissions-Policy ` > Syntax ](/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Permissions-
Policy#syntax) for more details.

##  Default policy

The default allowlist for ` gamepad ` is ` self ` .

##  Examples

###  General example

SecureCorp Inc. wants to disable the Gamepad API within all browsing contexts
except for its own origin and those whose origin is ` https://example.com ` .
It can do so by delivering the following HTTP response header to define a
Permissions Policy:

http

    
    
    Permissions-Policy: gamepad=(self "https://example.com")
    

###  With an <iframe> element

FastCorp Inc. wants to disable ` gamepad ` for all cross-origin child frames,
except for a specific ` <iframe> ` . It can do so by delivering the following
HTTP response header to define a Permissions Policy:

http

    
    
    Permissions-Policy: gamepad=(self)
    

Then include an [ allow ](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/iframe#attributes)
attribute on the ` <iframe> ` element:

html

    
    
    <iframe src="https://other.com/game" allow="gamepad"></iframe>
    

iframe attributes can selectively enable features in certain frames, and not
in others, even if those frames contain documents from the same origin.
