Should I expect AWS to respect Azure Information Protection (AIP) protected e-mails?
msExchangeDude Teams knows nothing about Office 365 Message Encryption, so it wouldn't apply any protection to messages with DNF set when displayed in a screen sharing session. All of which goes to prove that it's important people understand that encryption is not a perfect way to stop message content leaking. For instance, people can still take a screen photo of a message and send it to someone else with WhatsApp.
I have no idea what Amazon Chime might be doing with the display, but I suggest that this is their problem, not Microsoft's.
TonyRedmondand msExchangeDude thanks for replies. AWS=Amazon Workspace which is a Windows 10 desktop that lives in the Amazon cloud, domain connected and for all intents and purposes, the same setup as my laptop but virtual.
TonyRedmondTeams has some awareness I feel when Do Not Forward is selected for an Outlook mail. i.e. When I try and share my screen with a message protected by Office Message Encryption in MS Teams from my Windows 10 physical laptop, the remote users see a black screen. When I perform that same exact action from my AWS Windows 10 virtual desktop, Teams displays the e-mail during the screen sharing session.
We are aware that where there is a will there is a way, and bad actors can exfiltrate our data in other ways than forwarding a message or screen sharing.
I was curious to know if others can reproduce this and help me to understand where I should be taking this concern. i.e. is MS responsible to ensure that their O/S (whether on a VM or physical machine) operates consistently or is the responsibility with Amazon in some way?

Teams doesn't know anything about the DNF-protected message because Outlook has already fetched a use license to decrypt and display the content before Teams gets a chance to show the message in the meeting window. As far as Teams is concerned, it's just displaying an Outlook message. I tried to replicate this issue in my tenant and couldn't using a physical Windows 10 workstation connected to an E3 or an E5 account.

Microsoft
per your description of the issue, i would point to the display driver in use on the virtual machine and how the desktop is rendered as this may be a dependency for teams' ability to black out certain windows.
