Using the Prevent screen capture feature
The Prevent screen capture setting helps account owners and admins control whether users can take screenshots during a Zoom meeting. When this setting is enabled, the Zoom meeting window will not appear in any images captured using print screen functions or third-party screen capture tools on the user's device. This includes content shared during the meeting, such as screens, videos, whiteboards, in-meeting chat, captions, polls, and quizzes.
Requirements for using the Prevent screen capture feature
Limitations of using the Prevent screen capture
- This feature can only be enabled or disabled from the Web portal and when scheduling a meeting from the Zoom Workplace app. It does not come with a Zoom Workplace App in-meeting settings that can be changed during a meeting
- Users on the Web app or Linux can only join in audio-only mode.
- Users on an unsupported Zoom Workplace app version will be redirected to the Web app and will be limited to audio-only mode.
- If a user is connected to an external DisplayLink monitor, the meeting window may turn gray because the system recognizes the external screen as a screen recording device. This is a system-level behavior that cannot be changed. To avoid this, disconnect the external DisplayLink monitor or disable the Prevent Screen Capture setting.
