This is literally the threat model that this feature is protecting against: it gives presenters a way to say "no really, when I say don't record I mean don't record". If people end up overusing it at your company, that's a problem to address with them, but I can totally imagine use cases where you would want to turn this on just as an added precaution against accidental but well-intentioned misuse of the visual aids in a private presentation.
This isn't to protect against corporate espionage, it's to give presenters the option to be a little bit more clear about their expectations of confidentiality.
- Aeolun 1y agoNo, no, what they’re doing is making it harder for me to work around their (inevitably misplaced) expectations of confidentiality. This is one of those things that will be misused to hell and back so we’re better off not having the feature at all. It’s existence is a net negative to corporate employees everywhere.
- kenjackson 1y agoThe other commenter is right. Same reason I use DRM email. It’s not that I’m stopping espionage, but reminding folks that this message shouldn’t be distributed to others.
- zvr 1y agoSome people also use formats like PDF or images instead of editable text or slides for exactly the same reason. It's not that they can't be modified, but it's an indication that you're not supposed to.
