We once had an intern who took screenshots of an internal presentation and posted them on the internet to brag about how cool his internship was.

When we did his exit interview he admitted he just wasn’t thinking. He did it all in a couple minutes while in the meeting. Something like this would have stopped him in the process and made him remember that the content was sensitive.

Don’t underestimate the diversity of the people watching zoom meetings. It’s not all engineers with elaborate screen capture setups prepared for the express purpose of recording meetings.

Seems like you will now have 1 less way to weed out an employee you don't want...

If someone was going to do something dumb like that I wouldn't want them to keep their job now instead simply because the software prevented them from doing something so dumb or dangerous.

Thank you Hacker News commenter for lecturing someone on Human Resources policy. The ultimate scope creep from someone explaining why this feature might have an iota of value. The SECOND a tool that you use add a feature that you want because “um, we don’t think that your business should work like that, actually”, there’d be an angry rant on the front page of this very site.

Yes, this is a great example of why a control like this is useful.

People do dumb things. The fact that it won't prevent a determined attacker isn't the point.

recording a call is not attacking duh.
