i mean if someone really wanted to commit espionage they'd just take a photo of the screen with their camera.

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 14 points 22 hours ago

I suspect running teams on Windows in Parallels on a Mac would still let me use the Mac’s screen record feature.

The important bit:

Those joining from unsupported platforms will be automatically placed in audio-only mode to protect shared content.

And I presume everything except Windows 11 Teams will be considered “unsupported”.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 10 hours ago

Good. Do me a favour and block the audio as well.

i trust signing in through the browser on linux will be supported since that's the official way to use teams on linux

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 20 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

except on firefox of course, because fuck you for even trying to protect a little bit of your privacy

[–] iknowitwheniseeit@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I use Edge on Linux for working with Microsoft stuff on my corporate laptop. For everything else I use Firefox there. Privacy preserved, basically.

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Privacy preserved, basically.

only if the browser cannot run in the background, and it cannot access any of your fikes, the DBus of your regular user's session, and other facilities

I used to be able to join teams meetings in the browser version of teams from my Linux machine. I did my last job interview this way

Don’t worry, Recall will record everything done on the Windows machine.

My company is transitioning to teams. Most of our engineering is on Linux.

Can Microsoft please hurry up and break teams so we can't transition?

[–] iLStrix@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

OK, I'm really curious on what programs your engineers use then. Engineering has been one of the use-cases for me, that made it basically impossible to switch to Linux full-time. If you know, please tell me.

God I wish my company allowed that

[–] jamescrakemerani@feddit.uk 12 points 1 day ago

I have a Linux work laptop which they let us have but we still have to use the MS crap. Fortunately most of it is accessible through the browser but a lot of the Office apps are broken, or missing features on web.

Don't worry, teams is always somewhere between 10%-30% broken, always something n doesn't work, there are always a bunch of people that can't get in the meeting, that can't share screens all of the sudden because fuck you, that's why

Teams is the absolute worst and not a day goes by without people shitting on it, and we're only using it because most of our customers do but internally we will switch to something open source soon, because I get to make that decision 😎

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

I have looked but I just couldn't find an open source alternative that supported Teams core features like showing an error every time I login.

I think this has gone and done it for you

Microsoft Teams will soon encourage users to point their phones at their screens from off camera during meetings

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 25 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah seriously; this won't even stop normies. Everybody knows how to take a picture with their phone. Why bother?

So it would block screen/video capture, but will it block sound-only capture, too?

It's okay people, even if the feature in itself is not awful, MS Teams still is awful. We can still bash on MS to relieve past Windows trauma.

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (5 children)

So many commenters here and at the article get a hard on to bash MS for anything.

MS won’t make this a requirement, nor will they make using the Teams app a requirement. This isnt some backhanded way to get people to switch from Linux to windows.

This is MS responding to an enterprise feature request.

[–] mostlikelyaperson@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

The moment a certain company is mentioned in an article, lemmy will go rabid, it doesn’t really matter what the article is about. I am a Linux nerd and if MS crashed and burned tomorrow I wouldn’t exactly shed a tear but the knee jerk reactions are pretty weird to observe.

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The reflexive hate for M$ is not irrational fan-boys bashing a rival, but bitterness over prolonged and profound annoyance, suffering, and downright abuse experienced through using the products produced by that dogshit company.

I switched because I wanted software that didn't hate me and my values.

What's irrational is the Stockholm-syndrome Windows user who thinks it's normal and right to run software that spies, advertises, and generally treats users like a resource to be exploited.

Yeah, commented on the sister thread of this over on the technology subreddit that this wouldnt be a default on feature, and probably be either something the meeting owner has to enable (or tenant admins set to enabled in a policy) or it will be part of sensitivity labels or DLP policies.

Instant downvote.

[–] Iambus@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Because Lemmy Linux bros like to get their titty in a twist.

This is why they require a TPM, your motherboard will be DRM against you owning the operating system and it will only run signed software.

I'll have to use the camera phone again then.

[–] ouch@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"This feature will be available on Teams desktop applications (both Windows and Mac) and Teams mobile applications (both iOS and Android)."

What about Teams browser?

OBS Studio has been able to record Teams meetings so far, on Linux.
