The Screen Sharing Privacy Checklist

Before you share your screen with anyone, run through this short list to keep your private stuff private.

  • Prefer tab capture over full-screen capture when possible.
  • Close password managers, email, and chat windows before sharing a window.
  • Mute desktop notifications.
  • Confirm who's in the room before pressing share.
  • Stop sharing the moment you don't need it — don't leave it running in the background.

Browser permission prompts are your friend: they let you choose exactly what's shared and revoke it instantly.
