To Customize AnyDesk, there are many configuration options available. You can either override a setting (meaning there is no way to change it back within AnyDesk) or change the default setting which AnyDesk uses. For security-related features, always use override.
Note: To create older versions of AnyDesk use: _module=anydesk-VERSION.
For example: _module=anydesk-4.3.0
