I wonder what kind of impact this will have on boss-ware. Will there be ways to override this from an administrator point of view?

- anakaine 2y agoI wonder when organisations will learn to lead and manage effectively instead of micromanaging time via screen captures.
- newdee 2y agoCorps can’t silently allow apps to have screen recording access. The user still has to allow the app access when it requests it. They can allow/block list certain apps from ever being allowed, but it’s still up to the user to enable it via an interactive prompt. This just adds to prompt fatigue, which is already bad enough. Users don’t read this shit, they just get annoyed by it and blindly click Allow.
- nozzlegear 2y agoIn my experience, they'll blindly click the "primary" button. On macOS, the denial button is the primary button for permission prompts, so they're far more likely to get annoyed and blindly click "Don't Allow."
- kranner 2y agoThis particular dialog doesn’t have a “don’t allow” button at least for now.
- Gigachad 2y agoThe last two companies I’ve worked at have made me install some device management tool which requests permissions to do basically everything. It’s not clear what data the company actually gets and how many of the capabilities are being used. I’d certainly appreciate info that says “yes, your screen is being recorded right now” rather than a long list of permissions.
- newdee 2y agoThere’s a green or blue icon that gets displayed in the menu bar when something is recording the screen/audio or using webcam since a few major releases ago.
- ziml77 2y agoThe override is: "you didn't accept the screen recording permission like you're required to, either do that from now on or you're fired"
- Gigachad 2y agoIt at least does make it extremely clear to the employee that they are being watched.
