We would like to know how to block users from using OBS or other 3rd party recording software during calls.

Hello,

 

What you are requesting is nearly impossible. There are a multitude of screen recording applications. Even a low tech participant can simply point their cell phone at the screen and hit record.

We understand that, but we would like the video to go black on them if they use any software on their PC. I know they would still be able to record via their phone.
