it’s just as likely to read that as assuming Microsoft will block all content in order to ensure the safety of sensitive data.

Hang on. If you're rejecting rational use cases that companies use Teams for, then your assumption must be that Microsoft will block ALL screen capture when a teams meeting is occurring whether its of the Teams meeting content being shared or not. As in, even the presenter would be blocked from doing screen captures of their own system. Why isn't that your conclusion?

Why are you, again, from the headline only, assuming that screen capture would mandatory for just content shared to you by a Teams presenter? You chose a middle ground, but why didn't you choose full blocking?

Sniff tests have to be adapted when things tend to stink in general, or companies regularly try to cover up their smell.

So are you adapting yours back now because yours was proven wrong?

i trust signing in through the browser on linux will be supported since that's the official way to use teams on linux

"To address the issue of unauthorized screen captures during meetings, the Prevent Screen Capture feature ensures that if a user attempts to take a screen capture, the meeting window will turn black, thereby protecting sensitive information," Microsoft shared in a new Microsoft 365 roadmap entry.

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

Yeah, seems like a perfectly reasonable feature to add. It will also likely be a toggle-able feature switch.

Surely there’s no way Lemmy gets angry at this, right?

I hate stuff like this because screen grabs during meetings or lectures is my favorite way to take notes.

regarding the quote, will they just not let linux users connect to the call when that restriction is turned on?

edit: nvm, the article talks about that too

except on firefox of course, because fuck you for even trying to protect a little bit of your privacy

My problem with it is that it gives a sense of security that does not exist.

Non-Technical folk will click the button and think they're safe

Run teams in a VM and take a screen shot from the host OS.

Or just use the smartphone camera that almost everyone is going to have anyhow...

My problem with it is that it gives a sense of security that does not exist.

It gives security for 99% of people that will ever be on the calls, and most importantly it gives the company something to point to whenever they get security audits.

Non-technical folk aren't usually responsible for setting policies in enterprise software lol. They won't have an option.

Recording a 1h meeting with a smartphone sounds like a nightmare.

1hr? Maybe just wear an action camera, if you can sit well in front of the screen during whole meeting. (j/k)

EDIT: For smartphone, get a selfie stand if you have place to set it up, do not try to hold the phone with your hand for 1 hour.

now that all the performance, reliability, and usability issues are solved in Teams, it's great to see all that energy going into this useful feature that is surely not possible to circumvent in any way.

Nooooo. If you do that, you won't be paying for Teams Premium which has built in support for screen recording. Think of the revenue lost

Edit: I should add /s incase people think I'm a Microsoft shill
