Security Guidelines

Masking Sensitive Data in Screen Recordings

This guide explains secure practices for masking confidential information in your screen recordings.

While blur effects are available, they can potentially be reversed using advanced AI tools. For maximum security, always use solid color masking for highly sensitive information.

Available Masking Options

1. Solid Color Mask (Recommended for Sensitive Data)

Complete coverage of sensitive information and maximum security protection

Best for:

  • Passwords
  • API keys
  • Authentication tokens
  • Credit card numbers
  • Account numbers
  • Personal identification data

2. Blur Effect

Creates a blurred overlay

Suitable for:

  • Non-sensitive UI elements
  • General interface areas
  • Decorative elements
  • User avatars
  • Non-critical information

Best Practices

  1. Choose the appropriate masking method based on sensitivity:
  • Use solid color masks for credentials and sensitive data
  • Reserve blur effects for aesthetic purposes or non-critical information
  1. When masking sensitive data:
  • Ensure complete coverage of the target area
  • Verify no partial information is visible
  • Double-check the mask in the final exported video
For maximum security, always default to solid color masking when handling any type of sensitive or confidential information in your screen recordings.
