## FAQ
**Does Brifo work with Microsoft Teams?**

Yes. Brifo captures Teams meetings on macOS via local system audio, with both Teams desktop app and browser.

**Do I need M365 admin to install Brifo?**

No. Brifo runs locally on your Mac and doesn't need any M365 app or admin permissions.

**Will Brifo work if my company blocks third-party Teams apps?**

Yes. Brifo is not a Teams app. It captures system audio at the macOS level, bypassing M365 app restrictions.

**Is Brifo compatible with Teams in regulated industries?**

The architectural posture (no cloud audio, no bot) supports compliance. Formal SOC 2 and HIPAA certifications are in progress.

**Does Brifo work with Teams Phone?**

Yes. Teams Phone calls play through macOS system audio so Brifo can capture them.

**Is Brifo better than Teams' built-in transcription?**

Different tradeoffs. Teams transcription needs recording-on (admin-gated in many orgs). Brifo works regardless of org policy and includes Jira-native action items.
