Security controls scheduled for June and July release by Microsoft.
Microsoft is set to roll out a “Prevent Screen Capture” feature for Teams.
Aimed at preventing unauthorised screenshots during sensitive meetings, the feature will block screen capture attempts by displaying a black screen instead of the actual meeting content. This will offer a stronger safeguard for confidential information shared in virtual sessions.
According to Cybersecurity News, the update - which applies to Teams on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android - will automatically shift users on unsupported platforms to audio-only mode to maintain security.
Alongside this, Microsoft will introduce audit logging for screen sharing and control actions in June 2025, giving IT administrators expanded oversight via the Teams Admin Center. These logs will record who initiated or received control during sessions, complete with timestamps and user data.
