There exist several methods to mitigate the risk of QuickTime Player capturing streaming video media from the iOS 16 application during screen recording on the Yosemite operating system.

1. Utilize a third-party screen recorder: Choose from various third-party screen recorders that allow you to record the screen of your iOS device. These recorders typically offer encryption for the video stream, effectively preventing QuickTime Player from capturing it.
2. Employ a VPN: Please ensure that all data transmitted from your device, including the video stream originating from the iOS application, is securely encrypted by employing a Virtual Private Network (VPN). When a VPN connection is established, QuickTime Player will be rendered incapable of capturing the video stream. 
3. Disable screen recording: Navigate to *Settings > General > Restrictions > Allow* on your iOS device and disable the *Screen Recording* feature. By doing so, QuickTime Player will be unable to record the screen of your device.

Note: If you are utilizing an iOS device operating on iOS 15 or an older iteration, the option to disable screen recording is unavailable. Consequently, you must depend on either a third-party screen recorder or a VPN service to impede QuickTime Player from capturing the video stream.
