How to prepare before sharing
When setting up Screen sharing without exposing sensitive data (Hide Sensitive Data on Calls | 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.
- Open the browser tab or desktop context you plan to present.
- Place blur overlays over the private fields that can appear during the walkthrough.
- Review the visible area, then start the call or recording.
