Microsoft’s New Teams Feature: The Death of Sneaky Screenshots!
Microsoft’s new Teams feature, Prevent Screen Capture, promises to save your secrets from prying eyes—or at least from screenshots. Those joining from unsupported platforms will be stuck in audio-only mode. But remember, your nosy colleague can still snap a pic with their phone, so maybe don’t share your social security number.
Hot Take:
Microsoft Teams is going full James Bond mode with their new “Prevent Screen Capture” feature. They’ve decided it’s high time to protect your top-secret PowerPoint slides from prying eyes and nosy screenshots. But don’t get too comfortable; nosy co-workers with camera phones will still find a way to snap away. It’s like giving everyone bulletproof vests, but forgetting to lock the door!
Key Points:
- Microsoft Teams is introducing a feature to block screenshots during meetings to protect sensitive data.
- Unsupported platform users will be relegated to audio-only mode.
- The feature rolls out worldwide to Android, desktop, iOS, and web users in July 2025.
- Screen captures will result in a black screen, but taking photos of the screen remains a loophole.
- Other new features include town hall privileges, BizChat/Copilot Studio agents, and enhanced audio overviews.
