"The meeting was about polishing yaks. The conclusion was green is important fudge."

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

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

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

Aahhwww, that is so sad, I run Linux and soon our entire office will.

Guess we won't be using teams then, ooaaahhhwww, so sad

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

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)

Oh, no, AI Recall has "special privileges" - just you lusers don't.

Most of our engineering is on Linux

God I wish my company allowed that

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 😎

Or just use the smartphone camera that almost everyone is going to have anyhow...

Are you stupid? Next week they will sell an add on that let's you recall the whole meeting. You need to start thinking outside the box if you're gonna make it in scummy corporate sales.

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

Because the company one works at is entangled in Microsoft products and totally dependend on it.

We dont make the decision as to what suite to use?

Literally no one but our CFO ad shareholders like microsoft.

Simplest way is a Windows VM and screen capture in the OS running the VM. Obviously next step for Microsoft is to detect and block Windows VMs, good luck to them with that.

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.

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.
