Microsoft Teams: Prevent screen capture (Premium feature)

Microsoft Teams Premium introduces a “Prevent screen capture” feature to block screenshots and recordings during meetings, enhancing confidentiality. Enabled by organizers via Meeting Options, it restricts capture differently across platforms, is off by default, and requires manual activation per meeting. Rollout begins mid-September 2025. Prevent screen capture is a Microsoft Teams Premium feature that helps protect sensitive meeting content by blocking screenshots and recordings across supported platforms. When enabled by the meeting organizer, this feature restricts screen capture using native device tools and most third-party apps. It enhances meeting confidentiality and is especially useful for high-security discussions. Attendees on unsupported platforms will join in audio-only mode. Organizers and co-organizers can enable this feature via Meeting Options. It is not governed by meeting policy. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 490561.

How this affects your organization When enabled, platform-specific behavior includes: Windows desktop: Screenshots show a black rectangle around the meeting window, including pop-outs. Mac desktop: Captured content disappears, effectively hiding the meeting window and pop-outs. Android (phones and tablets): Screenshots and recordings are blocked.
