A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• ascertaining that a region of shared media is to be sharing protected as part of a screen sharing experience;
• receiving user input specifying a first participant in the screen sharing experience that is to be permitted access to content from the region of the shared media;
• causing content from the region to be encrypted with a key during the screen sharing experience between a group of participants in the screen sharing experience;
• and
• designating the first participant of the group of participants as sharing privileged such that the key is permitted to be accessible for the first participant to enable the content to be decrypted for the first participant as part of the screen sharing experience, and a second participant of the group of participants is not designated as sharing privileged such that the key is not permitted to be accessible for the second participant as part of the screen sharing experience.
