Sounds like only a matter of time until Microsoft adds this to Edge (and Chromium) and thenn any page can prevent you from taking a screenshot

LOL Another stupid feature (enforced by regulations&#x2F;law&#x2F;policies) that has no real world use, besides making us users angry :-(<p>Like Google collecting all of our location history for their own usage, but not allowing us to see it via web anymore (only on mobiles), or having the android dialer not allowing us to record our own phone conversation (easily circumvented), or movie&#x2F;music&#x2F;game publishers not allowing us to backup our own media… you get the point.<p>All these are due to laws and regulations that are there to protect the big companies and don’t take into consideration users and the common sense ;-)

Interesting how this will stop me from taking a picture with my mobile phone. The amount of effort people will go to, to make people&#x27;s work more cumbersome. I am not screenshotting for espionage, I am screenshotting to accomplish my job.

This kills teams for Linux users since there is no desktop client so capturing can&#x27;t be prevented. Linux users will be audio only in those calls.<p>The worst thing about this feature is that if someone takes a screenshot it will be saved on an IT controlled computer but if users are forced to snap screen caps with their phones the sensitive information ends up on personal devices and probably cloud synced to Google drive etc

What&#x27;s to stop me embedding a pinhole camera in the lamp behind me, zooming it in on the screen, and recording every meeting?<p>These kinds of measures only stop the good guys from doing their jobs. The bad guys put way too much effort into espionage for this to work.

At some point, you need to trust your staff. If you do not trust them to keep confidential information private, then why are you giving them the information in the first place?

This is of course, incredibly stupid, due to the analog hole (which to be fair, is mentioned in passing by the article, but doesn&#x27;t seem to be addressed at all by MS*.) Having this feature just guarantees it will get used, and possibly made into a standard compliance theater feature, hurting legitimate users for very little practical gain.<p>The only <i>real</i> practical gain is that it might prevent malware from being able to capture visible data, but what&#x27;s funny about that is one of the desktop systems that can prevent unwanted screen capture by design (Wayland) also intentionally doesn&#x27;t have any support for DRM&#x2F;HDCP features, so it will likely be stuck on audio-only mode. High five, Microsoft!<p>* I wanted to go to the source directly to check if maybe they just left it out, but the link that they currently have seems to be non-sense. It seems to point to something about &quot;Co-pilot&quot; audio transcription. In Romanian, for whatever reason.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.microsoft.com&#x2F;ro-ro&#x2F;microsoft-365&#x2F;roadmap?id=490051" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.microsoft.com&#x2F;ro-ro&#x2F;microsoft-365&#x2F;roadmap?id=490...</a>

Most folks know this is easily defeated typically by viewing the content on another device (eg via casting it, remote desktop, phone mirroring, etc) or viewing it from within a VM, and then using the native screen capture functionality on the viewing device to record&#x2F;screenshot whatever you need.<p>That being said - guessing they are doing this for their enterprise customers mainly, where alot of those other options are locked down. But plenty of people already know to just record their screen from their phone anyway - impossible to block that and much safer way to exfiltrate whatever info&#x2F;data you need.

That&#x27;s quite unfortunate because due to a screen capture through Snipping Tool I got evidence of my org planning to fire me before even making announcements through a shared PowerPoint deck with a slide containing a org chart which shouldn&#x27;t really be there at the time in the Teams meeting.<p>So from a employee POV it has its uses.<p>But people who will get in the same situation like me could simply use the camera on their phone pointed at the screen and be done with it, I guess.

Any security feature that can be totally defeated with a spicy HDMI splitter and a 2nd computer should not exist.<p>This stuff looks much more to me like &quot;fuck the user&quot; than anything else. I am 100% convinced there is a cult of evil bastards at Microsoft, et. al. that is hellbent on making everyone&#x27;s UI&#x2F;UX as janky as possible.

Very pleased this is coming. Once a week I hold a meeting with stakeholders to show my latest art works and I can hear them push the print screen button. Very annoying. I am trying to get these freshly minted but if is becomes public somebody has screenshotted them, the value plummets
GuB-42大约 3 小时前
I guess that if that&#x27;s optional, including the &quot;Those joining from unsupported platforms will be automatically placed in audio-only mode&quot; part, then why not. I guess it can prevent some accidental leaks, like with someone hitting PrtScr by mistake.<p>But if someone wants to take a screenshot, the &quot;take a picture with your smartphone&quot; exploit is already very obvious and commonly used, even by non-technical people. I know that confidential information is shared like this all the time, bypassing all security, and everyone turns a blind eye to it, because that&#x27;s how they get the job done. I fully expect that if that feature is forcibly turned on, people will do it without giving a second thought.<p>And if you want to do it discreetly, just turn off your camera or cover it.<p>There are other ways of working around that, like using a video capture card, but why bother when you have a solution so obvious as taking pictures of the screen, even the article mentions it.

A former colleague was harassed for a months on end a boss and used screen recordings to prove it to HR.<p>Not surprised at all that MS is doing this.

I screenshot a lot on meetings to take notes, usually when someone is presenting a slide and I want to note down the bits that are relevant to my work. But no, espionage!

So if you&#x27;re screen capturing with something like OBS or screen shot snips it would show black? For audio it&#x27;d be silence?

This is security theater. It makes you feel secure but it doesn’t actually protect you. If things can not get out do not share them via Trams in the first place.

I wonder how it will work. The article sounds like it just overrides the print screen button. But what about screen recording apps like OBS? Seems like Teams would need to inject some code deep into the os to block that.

I very often take screenshots during meetings, it’s a helpful reference point to me. I never used that to save more sensitive data than what I already have access to. Still, I assume my use case will no longer be supported. That’s unfortunate.

Which APIs would one use to implement this feature on Mac and Windows? For example is there a OS level flag that one can include on windows to not allow capturing of the app’s window - or is a notification sent out when someone tries to capture the screen (and then one can just blank the window)?

I get that it’s basically impossible to enforce but who are all these people that screencap stuff from Teams meetings? Why do you need to do that? Can you not get the actual material you’re capping via somebody emailing&#x2F;sharing the actual file? If not, why? Are you not allowed to access it? Or are you all just taking candids of your coworkers for your own devious purposes?

Yeah. Concentrating on getting Windows and all MS products to be more secure and robust, instead of building up smoke and mirros would have been too hard I guess.<p>What a waste of developers resources.
marcodiego大约 6 小时前
This and DRM and other restrictive anti-features like self destroying messages, un-recordable strings, unprintable files are all fully artificial restrictions. They make no sense when the source code is available since removing it is as simple as removing an if.<p>I payed for my device, it is mine, it is up to me to decide whatever I&#x27;ll do with it. It is my right under the private ownership definition. The current situation on modern devices, especially smartphones, is ridiculous and a complete distortion of rights that are fundamental even for the roots of capitalism.<p>Users should organize and, at the least, avoid using such services even if it means to lose some convenience. Losing my freedom is not a fair price to pay for such conveniences.

Presumably bypassed by turning off hardware acceleration? Like with many streaming sites that also block screen capture.
code4tee大约 4 小时前
This is a pointless feature that’s easily bypassed if you know what you’re doing. It’s there so someone can check a compliance box to make an auditor that doesn’t know much about tech feel better. That’s it.

Nothing is stopping anyone from recording the screen and capturing audio. However that is not the point. These features are required by regulated industries and companies like Microsoft can offer them. Plain and simple.
