OK, I'm really curious on what programs your engineers use then. Engineering has been one of the use-cases for me, that made it basically impossible to switch to Linux full-time. If you know, please tell me.
We have Linux. We just use the in browser app. Works fine.

Gonna be difficult to block screen capture when I have a phone in my hand with a camera that can be record what I see.
Don't be so bold. Microsoft is investing in military AI applications. So don't be surprised when your computer slaps that camera right out of your hands and punches you in the face. /j (or not, idk, things are looking bad)

There will be ways to capture it anyway. Probably specific software designed for GPU capture, since that's how these apps "prevent" capturing, using GPU trickery.

There are some autonomous cars with lidar out there where the lidar is so powerful it can wreck a camera close up, but is still safe for eyes.
Switch up FaceID to use a more powerful laser which will wreck the phones camera, and start making webcams for non macs that are required to have this in them for Teams to work.

All the EDA tools for silicon design are Linux based.

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?
Well, 'proven wrong' is a bit of a stretch. 'will soon block screen capture' doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room, but also isn't that crazy to read into it that maybe it would block screen capture on the presenters screen... especially if you grant that it might only have control over the teams portion of the screen. I've had it black out windows on my own machine even when not presenting.
But further than that, it's not fair to say everything has to be read only from the most or the least charitable viewpoints. Context is a thing and if you're even a little bit familiar with the history of software enshittification, it's reasonable to assume that an uncharitable reading is fair without assuming the app will now melt your computer for spare parts if you try something that is disallowed. 'As shitty as we can get away with' might be a good rule of thumb.

Simplest way is a Windows VM and screen capture in the OS running the VM. Obviously next step for Microsoft is to detect and block Windows VMs, good luck to them with that.

Thx for the answer, that makes sense. I'm more in the mechanical sector now and don't have much to do with silicon design.

I see. Using the browser app certainly doesn't sound like the optimal solution, but if it works fine, then that's great. Unfortunately that's not feasible for my case.

Also, don't keep it running if not needed.
can you enforce that with flatpak? I often see the notification that "X program is still running in the background" or something similar, but the flatpak permission settings did not seem to have such a setting
No but, you can just close it.

California’s Corporate Cover-Up Act Is a Privacy Nightmare: it would let corporations spy on us in secret, gutting long-standing protections without a shred of accountability.
