Contact support

Protect the source browser tab

Screen Privacy Blur changes what appears on your browser page before the call or recording. Share that protected tab or browser window in Zoom, Meet, Teams, Loom, or OBS. Browser protection does not cover other desktop apps.

Free manual protection outside a recording plan

Loom’s documentation currently lists blur for Creators and Admins on Business, Business + AI, or Enterprise plans. Screen Privacy Blur provides manual browser overlays free, with automatic masks and replacement as Pro upgrades.

Keep live demos readable

Use local synthetic replacements for customer contact data instead of covering every field with a blur block. The page remains readable while your real account stays unchanged.

How to prepare before sharing

When setting up A browser-wide alternative to Loom blur (Browser-Wide Loom Redaction Tool | Screen Privacy Blur), Screen Privacy Blur runs 100% locally in your Chromium browser so private records, credentials, and financial balances remain hidden or replaced with realistic demo data before any frame is shared.

  1. Open the browser tab or desktop context you plan to present.
  2. Place blur overlays over the private fields that can appear during the walkthrough.
  3. Review the visible area, then start the call or recording.
