MAKE VEIL YOURS

Settings for the way you share.

Open Settings from the extension popup to choose what Veil detects, how it hides information, and where protection runs.

01 / DETECTION

Choose what gets masked

Master Protection controls automatic redaction. Enable the sensitivity categories relevant to your work, including emails, API keys, developer tokens, payment details, and other structured personal information.

Add a custom regex rule for an internal ID or token format, give it a name and badge, and test it with synthetic data. Pattern detection can miss values; use manual blur for anything else.

02 / APPEARANCE

Set the strength and style

Choose a Blur Filter or Solid Blackout. Set the blur radius from 4 to 24 px and mask opacity from 20% to 100%. The defaults are 12 px and 100% opacity.

Use the floating toolbar’s minus and plus buttons to adjust blur on the page. Review your shared output after changing appearance: lighter settings may leave information recognizable.

03 / REVEAL

Control when values are visible

Choose Click to Reveal, Hover to Reveal, or Never (Locked) for individual masked values. Locked reveal helps avoid accidental exposure when moving your pointer during a demo.

Peek All in the popup temporarily reveals masked content. Treat it as a separate control and avoid using it while sharing private information.

04 / PAGE CONTROLS

Keep your workspace comfortable

Show or hide category badges such as EMAIL and STRIPE. Turn on Hide Browser Tab Title to mask the page title, and choose whether the draggable floating toolbar appears by default.

The toolbar puts element, area, and text blur within reach. Title masking affects the title text; review other visible browser details before sharing.

05 / EXCLUSIONS

Choose where protection runs

Add domains to Excluded Domains using commas or new lines. Veil disables automatic redaction on matching sites, so only exclude pages you are comfortable showing.

Chrome’s extension site-access permissions also affect where Veil can run. Browser-restricted pages, such as Chrome settings, cannot be redacted.

06 / TEST & SAVE

Preview before presenting

Use the Live Redaction Sandbox in Settings to try sample or synthetic text and inspect the redacted preview. Avoid entering real credentials just to test a rule.

Preferences are saved in Chrome’s local extension storage. Reset to Defaults restores the standard configuration. For installation help or missing masks, visit Veil support.

Your settings stay on your device.

Veil processes webpage text locally. Visual masking does not remove information from the original page or guarantee detection of every sensitive value. Check your screen before sharing.

Screen sharing privacy: common questions

How can I hide sensitive information when sharing my screen?

Install Veil from the Chrome Web Store, open the webpage you plan to share, and enable protection. Use automatic detection for structured sensitive text, or select text, an element, or an area to blur. Review the visible page before starting your call or recording.

Does Veil send my webpage content to a server?

No. Veil processes webpage text on your device and stores extension preferences locally in Chrome. It does not upload page content for detection.

Does Veil remove sensitive information?

Veil provides visual masking. The source page still contains the original information, and detection may miss some values. Check your screen before sharing.

Can I temporarily reveal a blurred value?

Yes. Use click or hover reveal, or Peek All in the extension popup. You can also disable revealing in Settings.

Does it work on every Chrome page?

It works on ordinary websites where extension access is allowed. Chrome internal pages and other browser-restricted pages cannot be redacted. Local file access requires enabling that permission in Chrome.

Is Veil available outside of Chrome?

We are actively building a native macOS app that extends Veil’s on-device redaction to desktop apps like Slack, Zoom, Terminal, and Loom. The Chrome extension is available today for web tools and demos. If you would like early access to the macOS app, join the macOS waitlist.
