    Exclamation How to control (jail) proprietery app?

    Hi

    Unfortunately, I have installed Microsoft team because government forced student to teach from that,
    I found no choice than installing .

    I see It had added several privacy corrupting things such as
    1) a update link directly to software updater app ( I've disabled it)
    2) using my webcam and microphone
    3) seeing all my files
    4) directly opening when start( I've immediately disabled it)

    Also I have weird problem of it ,
    I have placed in dock, and when i right click it It directly shows, "Quit team", but again, I didnt opened it, open when i do same thing to other software nothing like `Quit transmission` came,
    I doubt, It is doing malicious thing on my computer




    Although I only open it on study time, but I am worried,
    If it also run on background ,
    use my webcam or microphone even app is not opened,
    Send information to microsoft all the time even app is not opened


    But I want to control it or keep it on Jail so that it couldnt do anything on my files unless i want for some occasions like saving study videos,
    I want a police software which monitor it like no webcam authority, no microphone authority, no sending information to microsoft authority,
    That police would control every activities of msteam, like completely close when quit, not even small particles of it on background.
    Just put it in jail, Even if I am on internet.
    Shutting down internet is not on choice.

    If you run Windows in a VirtualBox virtual machine, the application will only be able to see the files in the VM and cannot touch ones on the host machine. For a webcam, read this: https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualiz...ssthrough.html
