Abstract
Systems and methods for obscuring images and/or text during a screen sharing operation in a video conferencing session are described herein. In some embodiments, a client device detects a screen sharing operation. As part of the screen sharing operation, the client device captures an image of a display. The client device recognizes images and/or text in the image of the display and determines whether any of the images and/or text are restricted. If the images and/or text are determined to be restricted, the client device obscures the images and/or text prior to encoding of the image of the display for transmission.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- capturing, during a video conferencing session, a display area of a providing device;
- determining that one or more images or one or more characters of the display area is restricted;
- in response to the determining that the one or the more images or the one or more characters of the display area is restricted:
- generating for display a user interface depicting an option to obscure at least a portion of the display area;
- receiving a selection of a first receiving device;
- and
- transmitting, to the first receiving device, the display area such that the one or more images or the one or more characters are obscured;
- and
- transmitting, to a second receiving device, the display area such that the one or more images or the one or more characters are unobscured.
A system comprising:
- communication circuitry configured:
- to capture, during a video conferencing session, a display area of a providing device;
- and
- processing circuitry configured:
- to determine that one or more images or one or more characters of the display area is restricted;
- and
- in response to the determining that the one or the more images or the one or more characters of the display area is restricted:
- to generate for display a user interface depicting an option to obscure at least a portion of the display area;
- to receive a selection of a first receiving device;
- and
- to transmit, to the first receiving device, the display area such that the one or more images or the one or more characters is obscured;
- and
- to transmit, to a second receiving device, the display area such that the one or more images or the one or more characters is unobscured.
