    It’s inevitable they’ll do everything they can to degrade the usability of their shitty products.

    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

    I hate stuff like this because screen grabs during meetings or lectures is my favorite way to take notes.

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

        Hell a lot of people would probably default to using a phone because they don’t know how print screen works.

    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 installed Windows 11 with an unsupported CPU, kinda funny how it just worked despite all their screeching that it wouldn’t work and updating not working, but installing with installation media was flawless.

      It’s a real bitch, automatically logging me into my partner’s account for the whole system and overriding my local user settings when I open MS Office apps Excel or Word (but that’s just Windows), and it cries about my lack of TPM on those apps and the Start menu when it does log in and cries about me not being logged into a MS account otherwise, but you know what? Everything still actually operates.

          An OS is a tool.
          And you are a tool if you use the wrong tool for a purpose.
          E.g. an essential program that only runs on windows and is either impossible or troublesome to run elsewhere.

    Microsoft is working on adding a new Teams feature that will prevent users from capturing screenshots of sensitive information shared during meetings.

    Clickbait title

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

        Knowing ms they’ll just make browsers audio only going forward
