A junior Dev was assigned a particular task where he is expected to come up with the command to run inside the system. He came up with the commands. I being a senior Dev and who has access to run the command on the pod did it after verifying it. I ran the command with screen sharing it to the junior Dev for him to learn. Now manager asked him to document the steps. I found that the doc contains screenshots from our call. My screens exactly.

Now my question is, I'm feeling that he should have asked or informed before taking a screenshot of my screen? Is this feeling normal?

    Yeah this sounds a bit creepy alright

    Sounds perfectly reasonable? He was being shown the process as part of his learning and development, so he recorded it - meaning that anything he didn't understand immediately he could review later. Later on, he was asked to document the process and so he did the obvious/quickest/best thing by including some screenshots from the video. It was a screenshare at work, not your wedding video.

    I agree that they should have asked beforehand. It’s normal/good etiquette to require each participant consent (or at least inform them so they can opt out) before recording a call.

    Idk, I always take a screenshot during a screenshare if it's not being recorded and I see useful stuff

    @netikras Depends on the topic, but mostly I capture the hole screenshare too.

    It is hard to pause during the explanation.

    @spongegeoff I'm not against him taking a screenshot or recording it. I'd have helped him for the same as well. I just wish he'd have informed in prior that he is taking it. I think him asking it is professional.
