Can a Microsoft Teams organizer see a full screen share secretly with "manage what attendees see"

I joined a Microsoft Teams meeting through Firefox on the web on a Linux machine. When I tried to share my entire screen, I was asked if I wanted to share the entire screen in a Firefox pop up which I said yes. Then the "you are sharing your entire screen" came up, the sharing icon was red and the "stop sharing" button was red. See attached image. This all disappeared and reverted to the default state almost instantly.

Teams has a feature to "manage what attendees see manage what attendees see" where the meeting host can preview shared content before making it live.

I am concerned that the meeting owner was able to see my entire shared screen without me even knowing it through this preview.

Can someone help? Microsoft just sends you around in circles and I can't contact Mozilla.

I have telemetry (every checkbox under "Firefox Data Collection and Use") disabled, but noticed that the datareporting/archived directory contains telemetry files. Is this expected, or does this indicate a bug that shows that telemetry is being sent?

The file paths have the format:

<profile dir>/datareporting/archived/2025-09/<unixtimestamp>.<uuid>.main.jsonlz4 <profile dir>/datareporting/archived/2025-09/<unixtimestamp>.<uuid>.events.jsonlz4

Hi,

Please tell me exactly WHAT AI, WHERE that AI is, and EXACTLY what DATA is transmitted, on an option that's enabled BY DEFAULT on Firefox.


"Use AI to suggest tabs and a name for tab groups"


And the same question for ALL other AI features.

There is ZERO transparency on this issue, and I'm mightily disgusted that you feel the need to, by default, force share the EVERY WEBSITE VISITED with a third party AI system.

Regards

D
