Microsoft Teams’ New Anti-Screenshot Feature: Protecting Privacy or Just a Blank Canvas?
Microsoft Teams Premium is getting a new feature called “Prevent screen capture” by late November 2025. It blocks screenshots and recordings on Windows and Android devices, ensuring sensitive meeting content stays secret. But beware, crafty colleagues with cameras can still capture your screen-time shenanigans!
Hot Take:
Microsoft is taking a page from the “No, You Can’t Copy That” playbook with their new Teams feature. It’s like putting a “Do Not Enter” sign in a public park—good luck enforcing it when everyone’s got a camera phone! But hey, at least they’re trying to keep your next big idea from turning into someone else’s startup pitch.
Key Points:
- Microsoft Teams is getting a “Prevent screen capture” feature for Premium users.
- The feature blocks screenshots and recordings on Windows and Android devices.
- Delayed rollout now set for early November 2025.
- Feature must be manually enabled per meeting and defaults to off.
- Unsupporting platforms will join meetings in audio-only mode.
