    Yeah, not seeing this as the big bad everyone thinks it is. We regularly have Teams meetings with other companies when they’re sharing their proprietary info. I’m okay with a screen capture disabling function just like we’d want to use from time to time.

      From the article:

      Those joining from unsupported platforms will be automatically placed in audio-only mode to protect shared content.

      and

      “This feature will be available on Teams desktop applications (both Windows and Mac) and Teams mobile applications (both iOS and Android).”

      So this is actually worse than just blocking screen capturing. This will break video calls for some setups for no reason at all since all it takes to break this is a phone camera - one of the most common things in the world.

        This has always been the case for anything that restricts screen capture. The tech makes getting detailed information more difficult, that’s all.

        Adobe does this with PDFs by restricting printing. You can still record the screen and flip through each page.

        Also, you’ll look odd holding your phone up to the screen.

          Also, you’ll look odd holding your phone up to the screen.

          just connect another display, set it to mirroring, and point a camera at that. or just use a video capture card.

            Like I said, there’s always been a way to defeat this type of protection. This feature makes doing so more difficult.
