Sharing your screen safely

What a site can see when you share a screen or a window, and how to limit it.

When a site asks to share your screen, you choose what it gets: one window, or your whole screen. Anything visible in what you share can be seen and recorded by the people on the other end, including notifications, other windows and other tiles.

  • Share a single window rather than the whole screen whenever you can.
  • Sharing the Hominis window shares every tile visible in it. Move sensitive tiles out of view, or use focus mode to show just one tile.
  • Stop sharing as soon as you’re done, from the site or from the sharing indicator.
