Hi JanMichael9500,
to address this issue, you can consider the following steps:
- Clear the Teams cache: This action may resolve the problem, as it can sometimes be caused by cached images and files.
Clear Teams cache - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn - Restart the Teams application: Simply restarting the app might also resolve the issue, as it can clear temporary glitches (bugs)
- Verify for updates: Ensure that you're using the latest version of the Teams app to benefit from any bug fixes or improvements.
Update Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Support - Reinstall the Teams app: If the above steps do not work, you can attempt a clean reinstall of the Teams app.

JanMichael9500 This looks to me like a third party DLP security tool is obfuscating company data from screen shots. It's not a native Teams feature.
