🔖
Version requirement: Lark version 6.2 or above.
Restricted Mode prevents users in private or group chats from:
  • Copying or forwarding messages.
  • Downloading files or content.
  • Taking screenshots or recording the screen.
This helps prevent the disclosure of confidential information in chats.
Note: Restricted Mode does not guarantee complete prevention of information sharing. Therefore, remain cautious when disclosing sensitive information.
II. Steps
In private chats
Click the ··· More icon in the upper-right corner of a chat > Settings, then select Restricted Mode.
