It’s either my broken self or a symptom of the time that I cannot tell if this is a honest question. I hope it isn’t.
Just in case: It’s not a real thing. Yet.
Comment on I would do this for just 1.99

Is this legit? Brave’s AI summary claims that Teams indeed gives this option to the host. However, it points to a Teams documentation page that does not mention such feature.

It was an honest question. I have seen various other horrible features, like Glassdoor allowing paying employers to remove negative ratings, so I freaked out a bit in case Teams has hidden features as well.
I know this is shitpost, but since there was another indication of such feature existing (although untrustworthy - the Brave Search’s AI summary), I wanted to confirm.

Beyond the other answers stating that this isn’t real:
Teams doesn’t do one off charges for functionality like this. All functionality is managed by licensing, managed through your workplace’s Azure tenant. Don’t have the license, don’t have the feature. Need the feature? Time to work with Microsoft billing to get you a new license (or additional one) and then your IT team to have the license applied to your account.
There aren’t usually any upsells displayed to end users. In our environment we’ve only seen a rare “this functionality is not available on your license, go complain to your admin” type message, but usually it just doesn’t display unavailable options.
On top of all that, Microsoft is dumb, but not this dumb. Last thing their team of lawyers would want is for them to be involved in some sort of “involuntary pornography” case or something.

Why would you trust any AI like that
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 6 days ago
Holy shit.
He’s at -41 right now, and you at +22.
He obviously isn’t trusting the AI, he’s asking here to verify it since he couldn’t find any first-hand information to contradict it.
Lemmy is already getting to be more fucking toxic than reddit. JFC.

Lemmy is better than Reddit in every way. This means the platform itself better, but it also uplifts all users. This leads to better posts, better comments and better voting behavior. It also enhanced the innate abilities of Lemmy users to be toxic as hell.
So what I’m trying to say is suck it bitch.
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 6 days ago
This…checks out.

It’s been that way. Who would’ve thunk a bunch of edgy redditors are insufferable?
Krauerking@lemy.lol 5 days ago
lol. Yup. We aren’t the cream of the crop here like some egos would have themselves believe.

I take comfort in knowing that votes on here don’t actually matter much.

Counter point: Lemmy has always been more toxic.
I’ve never seen a group (as a whole) that’s less capable of accepting that there are things they don’t know, or other viewpoints.

Arguably people don’t like the USE of AI regardless of whether the user thinks it’s trustworthy.
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 6 days ago
Yeah, it’s a scary word.
I get the hate for it, especially around resource use, and it’s overuse everywhere. But it’s still the early days and it’s certainly going to evolve. I imagine if people were as environmentally conscious in the 60s, they’d be up in arms about rooms full of hot glowing tubes doing arithmetic. Eventually, though, they got to be far less resource intensive.
Also the AI response is default behavior in Brave search…and many other searches. For me, Brave has probably been the best of the bunch, but that’s not exactly a high bar.

Because AI hallucinates and isn’t a trustworthy source to find out info about anything
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 6 days ago
They don’t hallucinate, they just believe everything they read on the internet. They are basically Republicans.
jim3692@discuss.online 6 days ago
I don’t blindly trust AI responses. However, that was way too concerning not to ask about it, considering that I work from home and that we use Teams.
JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 6 days ago
so you asked the word confetti bot
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 6 days ago
Have you done a brave search recently? It automatically tries to answer.
It’s actually been surprisingly good for me. Better than Google, at least. But it’s not a choice on his part, it’s default behavior.

Since the answer of the AI seemed misleading, I asked here to confirm.

I love bluetacking my webcam
jim3692@discuss.online 6 days ago
I wish I could. However, the device belongs to the company. And sometimes we need the cameras. We used to have Thinkpads with built-in switch-like mechanism that blocks the webcam, but the newer laptops have their camera exposed.
