Nope.

That's simply not possible.

Besides, what's stopping a user from taking video using their cell phone?

I don't think that you will be successful.

There are various methods to capture the screen content. See for example Various methods for capturing the screen[^].

With Windows 10 there is already an application installed that can record videos: The Game bar.

Finally, everybody that really wants to record the screen content can still use a video grabber (grab the signals send to the monitor) or just a video camera.
