ScreenShieldHelp and guides
Everything you need to keep private information off your shared screen.
Get started in a minute
- Pin ScreenShield. Click the puzzle icon in Chrome's toolbar, then the pin next to ScreenShield, so it's always one click away.
- Blur what you don't want to show. Open the popup and choose Click to blur, Draw area or Blur similar, or scan the page for emails and phone numbers. Press Esc when you're done. Your blurs come back when you return to the site.
- Share your screen. With Pro, Presentation Mode turns on by itself when you start sharing in the browser and hides sensitive info in every tab.
Right after you install ScreenShield, the welcome page opens a practice page full of made-up data, so you can try everything safely.

Where ScreenShield can't help
- Chrome doesn't let extensions run on chrome:// pages, the Chrome Web Store, the built-in PDF viewer or other extensions' pages.
- Text drawn on a canvas, as in Google Docs or Figma, and text inside images can't be read. Cover them with Draw area.
- ScreenShield protects what's shown in Chrome, not other apps on your computer.
