There will be ways to capture it anyway. Probably specific software designed for GPU capture, since that's how these apps "prevent" capturing, using GPU trickery.

The announcement from MS and the linked article both also mention this, though they recommend the real analogue hole: a separate camera pointed at the screen.
To be clear this is an option enabled by the host. It most likely won’t be used for normal meetings.
More and more, I notice that Microsoft's ubiquity in our society is to reinforce the idea that we need to take abuse and reward our abusers in order to be successful.
Yes.
This is so you can then use their super cool and completely accurate AI summary tool that will be coming soon.
"The meeting was about polishing yaks. The conclusion was green is important fudge."
Why would one use an intentionally impaired tool?
We dont make the decision as to what suite to use?
Literally no one but our CFO ad shareholders like microsoft.
Because the company one works at is entangled in Microsoft products and totally dependend on it.
So you're saying that I can just start an infinite empty meeting in order to block the AI Recall thing from recording my screen?
Oh, no, AI Recall has "special privileges" - just you lusers don't.
Gonna be difficult to block screen capture when I have a phone in my hand with a camera that can be record what I see.
Don't be so bold. Microsoft is investing in military AI applications. So don't be surprised when your computer slaps that camera right out of your hands and punches you in the face. /j (or not, idk, things are looking bad)
There are some autonomous cars with lidar out there where the lidar is so powerful it can wreck a camera close up, but is still safe for eyes.
Switch up FaceID to use a more powerful laser which will wreck the phones camera, and start making webcams for non macs that are required to have this in them for Teams to work.
There are going to be fifty different bypasses up on github by the end of the week. This makes me want to join a corpo and record their precious meetings
now that all the performance, reliability, and usability issues are solved in Teams, it's great to see all that energy going into this useful feature that is surely not possible to circumvent in any way.

[laughs in rdp from another machine]
Laughs at all the cell phone camera captures that will start showing up...
I hate stuff like this because screen grabs during meetings or lectures is my favorite way to take notes.
Nooooo. If you do that, you won't be paying for Teams Premium which has built in support for screen recording. Think of the revenue lost 😭😭
Edit: I should add /s incase people think I'm a Microsoft shill
Now I know why they're trying to push corporate users off of Linux, again.
Run teams in a VM and take a screen shot from the host OS.
on a work laptop?
Some of us have remote desktop capabilities on our wfh machines
Or just use the smartphone camera that almost everyone is going to have anyhow...
Recording a 1h meeting with a smartphone sounds like a nightmare.
Thanks Microsoft, I'm investing in cell-phone tripods today.
