So does running teams in a windows vm prevent me to take a screenshot on the Linux host? I can't imagine it would.
I can't see how it would. Can a VM tell it's a VM?
There are plenty of ways for a VM to tell that it's a VM and not on baremetal, but there's not really a way for a program running on an OS in the VM to block the Host OS or hypervisor software from capturing an image of the screen of the VM.
Got it, thanks. I could imagine that certain software could just exit if it detects it's not on the host OS.
Anticheat games are notorious for handing out bans if they detect they're running in a VM.
It's too late for this philosophical questions
