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.
The announcement from MS and the linked article both also mention this, though they recommend the real analogue hole: a separate camera pointed at the screen.
To be clear this is an option enabled by the host. It most likely won’t be used for normal meetings.
Why would one use an intentionally impaired tool?
We dont make the decision as to what suite to use?
Literally no one but our CFO ad shareholders like microsoft.
Because the company one works at is entangled in Microsoft products and totally dependend on it.
More and more, I notice that Microsoft’s ubiquity in our society is to reinforce the idea that we need to take abuse and reward our abusers in order to be successful.

Laughs at all the cell phone camera captures that will start showing up…
This is so you can then use their super cool and completely accurate AI summary tool that will be coming soon.
“The meeting was about polishing yaks. The conclusion was green is important fudge.”
So you’re saying that I can just start an infinite empty meeting in order to block the AI Recall thing from recording my screen?
Oh, no, AI Recall has “special privileges” - just you lusers don’t.
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 are going to be fifty different bypasses up on github by the end of the week. This makes me want to join a corpo and record their precious meetings
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.
/s
So it would block screen/video capture, but will it block sound-only capture, too?
It will be funny if they try, because plenty of presentation setups will break
Jerb security.
Run teams in a VM and take a screen shot from the host OS.
on a work laptop?
Or just use the smartphone camera that almost everyone is going to have anyhow…
Recording a 1h meeting with a smartphone sounds like a nightmare.
Thanks Microsoft, I’m investing in cell-phone tripods today.
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.
This is the right way, but holding it in their hands will be the way so many clever rebels do it at first.
Like record it using a camera? That’s a substantial downgrade
Doesn’t matter for the “problem” they are trying to solve. Nobody interested in the “sensitive” information of another company will complain about picture quality if the information is readable enough.
they should also blank the screen if the user has recall enabled
Are you stupid? Next week they will sell an add on that let’s you recall the whole meeting. You need to start thinking outside the box if you’re gonna make it in scummy corporate sales.
It’s okay people, even if the feature in itself is not awful, MS Teams still is awful. We can still bash on MS to relieve past Windows trauma.
I hate stuff like this because screen grabs during meetings or lectures is my favorite way to take notes.
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
