On Windows and macOS, Teams enumerates running processes every 30 seconds and compares them against a classification table, showing the local user the detected app name while eligible participants are told which participant may be recording without naming the app. The feature is off by default and only runs when the host organization's policy enables it, with Microsoft able to update the detection table remotely via its Experimentation and Configuration Service.", "body_md": "## TL;DR\n\n- Teams has a feature that can detect third-party recording and AI note-taking applications during a meeting\n- On Windows and macOS, it enumerates running processes every 30 seconds and compares their names with a classification table\n- The local user sees the detected application name\n- Eligible meeting participants are told which participant may be recording, but not which application was found\n- Separate Microsoft telemetry contains the matched app name, type, and risk level\n- Microsoft can update the table remotely through its Experimentation and Configuration Service (ECS)\n- It only runs in meetings where the host organization’s policy enables it; the default is off\n- This detector is separate from Teams’ “Prevent screen capture” feature", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/microsoft-teams-can-detect-recording-apps-and-notify-other-participants", "canonical_source": "https://xusheng.dev/posts/reversing/teams_external_recording_detector/main/", "published_at": "2026-08-31 00:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-01 03:22:56.537845+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["Microsoft Teams", "Microsoft"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/microsoft-teams-can-detect-recording-apps-and-notify-other-participants", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/microsoft-teams-can-detect-recording-apps-and-notify-other-participants.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/microsoft-teams-can-detect-recording-apps-and-notify-other-participants.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/microsoft-teams-can-detect-recording-apps-and-notify-other-participants.jsonld"}}
