Sensitive content detection

When someone shares their screen during a meeting with sensitive content detection turned on, Teams automatically scans the shared content for sensitive information like credit card or account numbers.

If sensitive content is detected, both the presenter and the meeting organizer will be notified. The presenter will also be prompted to stop sharing their screen in case the content was shared unintentionally.

Sensitive content detection supports the following sensitive content:

Credit card numbers	EU Driver’s License numbers
US bank account numbers	EU Social Security numbers
US Social Security numbers	EU National Identification numbers
US/UK passport numbers	EU debit card numbers
US Individual Taxpayer ID numbers	EU Tax Social Security numbers
ABA routing numbers

Sensitive content detection doesn’t support the following sharing options: Microsoft Whiteboard, Content from camera, PowerPoint Live, Excel Live, or Browse my computer.

Note: Sensitive content detection doesn’t detect sensitive content in non-English languages or fast-moving shared content.
