Yes, that is also a big problem. In general you should be very aware in online meetings / screen sharing to be very cautious and deliberate with what you show. That problem has burned a streamer or two. :) Having a boring vanilla "work machine" for that sort of thing is always a good idea. Windows Recall definitely makes this problem worse! You could be doing 100% legit professional 'work stuff' and it could still grab things that it shouldn't (HIPAA and many other potentially sensitive bits of corporate data).
If you disable it, make sure to check on it regularly, as MS loves to turn things back on "for you" after Windows updates run. I've already seen some sysadmins saying they will run a scheduled task to make sure it stays dead.
