    What part of the headline suggests the feature is mandatory? Assuming its mandatory doesn’t pass the critical thinking “sniff test” because what is sensitive is purely subjective. Microsoft has no way of knowing what data you consider sensitive. As in, there’s no way Microsoft could make it mandatory on only “sensitive” data.

      “Microsoft” “will” “block”

      Those parts of the title.

      The source though indicates that it will be a Feature and it even has its own name. Sadly it doesn’t point out that it will be optional.

      Additionally you can see in the comments of the article that people think this will be mandatory.

      That’s a charitable reading, and likely justified by the article, but based only on the phrasing, it’s just as likely to read that as assuming Microsoft will block all content in order to ensure the safety of sensitive data. Sniff tests have to be adapted when things tend to stink in general, or companies regularly try to cover up their smell.

        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?
