Every meeting I'm in where we talk numbers or strategy starts with someone saying, Please don't record or share this. The documents all say CONFIDENTIAL all over them. That's not true of all our presentations, just ones that we really wouldn't want our competition to see.

Many people still take screenshots of things they think are useful. Things still get shared though emails and occasionally posted on social media.

I have worked with various secure chamber VPN and VNC systems that make it quite difficult to record or screenshot. These are companies where their IP is worth billions of dollars and everyone wants a piece of it. It's difficult enough that it's not worth the effort to try and work around it. The rare time I really need something for debugging, I'll take a photo with my cameraphone, but it rarely comes to that.

Because it's that much harder, I record a lot less of it. Likewise for all the other engineers I work with. Friction won't stop it entirely, but it will make it far less frequent.
