Do I need a paid Loom plan to use Screen Privacy Blur?
No. Manual browser blur and saved layouts are available free independently of your recording tool. Smart Auto-Blur and Auto-Replace require Screen Privacy Blur Pro. Loom’s own blur eligibility is controlled by Loom.
How do Manual Blur, Smart Auto-Blur, and Auto-Replace work for A browser-wide alternative to Loom blur?
For A browser-wide alternative to Loom blur (Loom blur alternative), Manual Blur is free forever and lets you click exact DOM elements or draw custom frosted-glass regions (Free manual browser blur, Works before calls and recordings, Optional Pro replacement, Review before sharing). Smart Auto-Blur Pro masks detected emails, phones, and API keys locally, while Auto-Replace Pro swaps sensitive text with realistic demo data.
Does any page data leave my browser during Loom blur alternative sessions?
No. When using Screen Privacy Blur for A browser-wide alternative to Loom blur, all pattern matching and DOM replacement run 100% locally inside the Manifest V3 Chrome extension. Open Chrome DevTools → Network while toggling Loom blur alternative protection to verify zero page content is uploaded.
Can I save my Loom blur alternative layout for future calls and recordings?
Yes. Once you configure A browser-wide alternative to Loom blur rules (Free manual browser blur, Works before calls and recordings, Optional Pro replacement, Review before sharing) on a domain, Screen Privacy Blur saves that layout locally so your protection is ready automatically before your next Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Loom, or OBS session.
