While using Microsoft teams application on android, I decided to record the lecture using a screen recording application built-in within the system.

The screen recording application says that there is another screen recording application is running (see screenshot below). I closed teams and started my screen recording again and it worked!!.

Many other applications that provide a random video call with strangers also have the same problem.

So, my questions are:

  • How to prevent any application from recording my android screen?
  • How to let android tell me about any applications that record my screen?
  • Are these applications spying on me?

EDIT: I have checked other questions similar to this issue, but all is about using SECURE flag in the application code. Clearly, I want to prevent any application downloaded from Google Play to record my android screen.

  • I am not asking about a certain application I develop, but applications, like teams, are recording my screen. – Omar Atef Oct 14 '20 at 12:44
