Screen sharing privacy
Mac screen sharing privacy checklist for meetings.
Before Zoom, Meet, Loom, demos, interviews, and client calls, your Mac can expose more than the current window. Use this checklist to reduce accidental reveals before your screen goes public.
Clean visible app surfaces
Check the Dock, Launchpad, Spotlight, recent apps, desktop files, and menu bar before sharing.
Silence interruptions
Turn on Focus, close unrelated windows, and avoid notification previews from messages or personal apps.
Use PrivyDock for repeat privacy
Keep a reusable private app list for calls, then open or restore those apps when the meeting is over.

Zoom Screen Sharing on Mac Without Showing Apps
Sharing your whole Mac screen on Zoom shows your Dock and Spotlight. A 2-minute checklist, plus how to hide personal apps completely.
Made for real calls
Keep your Mac calm before demos, interviews, and client meetings.
PrivyDock is not a replacement for file encryption or device security. It is a simple privacy layer for the moment your personal computer becomes visible to other people.
