    The feature is fine in theory. In practice, especially with work from home, it’s useless to achieve the goal it set out to. The article even points it out.

    While true, that doesn’t really matter when it comes to enterprise. For security compliance you have to be shown to be doing everything that you can to prevent security breaches etc. This feature is another tick box that you can show to whoever is doing your audits to show that you are doing it.

    Also most people don’t sit there in meetings with their finger on the screenshot key ready to go - but it is simple to just press a screenshot key on your keyboard. It’s a little bit harder to have your phone up and with the camera open the entire time ready to take photos, especially if cameras are on - especially if something just pops up briefly on screen and you realise you want to capture it.

    I don’t know your experience in enterprise, but I can tell you that a feature like this will be much applauded by those running companies for the reasons above.

      Yeah, this is a “feature” for the companies with the “enterprise” warning label who would rather waste a lot of effort on ineffective compliance checklists than actually make sure their software is up-to-date with security fixes.

        Nope. Compliance check lists matter when you are audited by external companies for things like PCI. It’s also not a lot of effort, nor is it ineffective, nor is making sure software is up to date ignored.
