Show ▼
Microsoft has begun rolling out a new feature for Teams Premium users that prevents screen capture during meetings. The 'Prevent screen capture' feature blocks screenshots and recordings on Windows and Android devices, though it remains off by default and must be enabled manually by meeting organizers. The rollout, initially delayed from July 2025, is now underway in early November 2025. The feature restricts visual meeting content access, displaying a black rectangle on Windows or a restriction message on Android. Unsupported platforms join in audio-only mode. Microsoft also warns that physical photos of screens can still capture sensitive content. This development follows Microsoft's broader efforts to enhance security in Teams, including protections against malicious files and URLs in chats.
