Microsoft is working on adding a new Teams feature that will prevent users from capturing screenshots of sensitive information shared during meetings.
Clickbait title
Doubt it will prevent flameshot from working if I use teams in firefox
"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

Welp, there goes any accountability.
There will be ways to capture it anyway. Probably specific software designed for GPU capture, since that's how these apps "prevent" capturing, using GPU trickery.
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.
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.
So it would block screen/video capture, but will it block sound-only capture, too?
It will be funny if they try, because plenty of presentation setups will break
