Don’t worry, Recall will record everything done on the Windows machine.
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”.
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
There’s also the unofficial flatpak, which works rather well.
No, it sucks. The Linux app does not support screen sharing on Wayland, but it works fine in the browser
I use Wayland at work, and haven’t had any issues sharing my screen on Teams.
Ah. I haven’t switched to Wayland yet so I wasn’t aware of that issue.
This still works, it is my only method of interaction with Teams
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

Did you even read the article.
I don’t know to what extent they’ll go, but yes, this and the Advanced Chat Privacy in WhatsApp are just user locking moves.
Good. Do me a favour and block the audio as well.
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?
Most of our engineering is on Linux
God I wish my company allowed that
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.
If Co is willing to use it in current state, all the breaking in the world is not going to change their mind.
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 😎
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.
you know, sometimes I wonder if Matrix could be used in a business setting, and worry about its rough edges and buggy features of Element. but you know what! it would probably be fine! not worse than teams, and at least they don’t want to fuck you over!
Those joining from unsupported platforms will be automatically placed in audio-only mode to protect shared content.
I think this has gone and done it for you
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.
All the EDA tools for silicon design are Linux based.
Thx for the answer, that makes sense. I’m more in the mechanical sector now and don’t have much to do with silicon design.
We have Linux. We just use the in browser app. Works fine.
I see. Using the browser app certainly doesn’t sound like the optimal solution, but if it works fine, then that’s great. Unfortunately that’s not feasible for my case.
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
Pointless.
Rules for thee not mee
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.
/s
Now we get to break it.
I’ll have to use the camera phone again then.
Run teams in a VM and take a screen shot from the host OS.
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.
1hr? Maybe just wear an action camera, if you can sit well in front of the screen during whole meeting. (j/k)
EDIT: For smartphone, get a selfie stand if you have place to set it up, do not try to hold the phone with your hand for 1 hour.
Like record it using a camera? That’s a substantial downgrade
Doesn’t matter for the “problem” they are trying to solve. Nobody interested in the “sensitive” information of another company will complain about picture quality if the information is readable enough.
A lot of people havw been doing it anyway.
on a work laptop?
Some of us have remote desktop capabilities on our wfh machines
they should also blank the screen if the user has recall enabled
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.
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.

“The meeting was about polishing yaks. The conclusion was green is important fudge.”
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
To be clear this is an option enabled by the host. It most likely won’t be used for normal meetings.
