In this blog post, I will show yo the steps to deploy Web clip app on macOS using Intune. Web clips provide a faster way of accessing your favorite website. They’re like web link shortcuts that you can create on Mac devices. When you create a Web clip on Mac, it will be pinned to the dock for easy access.
