How to Blur Screen Share on Zoom, Google Meet & Loom
Sharing dashboards or giving client presentations often risks exposing confidential emails, financial balances, and sensitive client PII. Here is how to blur sensitive elements before sharing your screen.
Install BlurMask for Chrome or Firefox and blur any text or element in 1 click.
Step-by-Step: Blurring Screen Share Sessions
Step 1: Install the BlurMask Browser Extension
Add BlurMask to Chrome, Firefox, Brave, or Edge. No user account setup or cloud sign-in is required.
Step 2: Press Alt + B to Enter Blur Mode
Open the web dashboard or tab you plan to share during your meeting. Press Alt + B (or click the BlurMask toolbar icon) to activate precision point-and-click blur mode.
Step 3: Click Any Confidential Text or Drag a Blur Region
Click on customer email addresses, revenue numbers, credit cards, or user names. Alternatively, drag a rectangular selection box over entire sections of the screen to redact them.
Step 4: Start Your Zoom or Google Meet Screen Share
Share your browser window on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or Loom. Because the blur is rendered locally on the page DOM, the screen recorder only ever captures the blurred pixels.
Why Blur Live Webpages Instead of Editing Video Later?
- Zero Post-Processing Time: Save hours tracking moving blurs in video editors like Premiere, Final Cut, or Camtasia.
- 100% Offline & Local: Your sensitive screen data never leaves your computer or gets processed by cloud servers.
- Survives Page Reloads: Automatic DOM observation ensures your blurs stay locked even when navigating dynamic React dashboards.
