How to blur sensitive information in a screen recording
Ship the demo without shipping secrets. Cover private data in place, then export.
Step 1 — Highlight
Click the Highlight tool on the left toolbar.
Why demos leak data so often
Real product environments are full of customer names, inbox previews, and tokens. Teams rush a capture for a launch and only notice the leak after the video is public. A screen recording blur tool lets you fix that without another take.
Blur workflow in VidLaya
- Upload the recording to the browser editor.
- Select Blur and drag over each sensitive region.
- Confirm the blur covers the full time those pixels are visible.
- Add zoom and highlight only after secrets are covered — overview in zoom, highlight, and blur.
Then finish the demo
Once privacy is handled, polish readability and ship. Start from the screen recording editor or the product demo video maker page depending on your goal.
