Getting started
Everything you need to share a clean feed in a couple of minutes.
1. Install & grant permission
Open the .dmg, drag ScreenVeil to Applications, and launch it. On first run, macOS will ask for Screen Recording permission — this is required for any app that captures the screen. ScreenVeil needs nothing else.
2. Create a Privacy Screen
ScreenVeil builds a shareable window called your Privacy Screen. Everything you approve appears there; everything you mark private does not.
3. Choose what stays private
In the console, set a rule for each app:
- Shared — appears normally in the feed.
- Hidden — removed from the shared feed entirely, while staying open and usable on your Mac.
4. Share the window
In Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Loom, OBS, or any tool that captures a window, choose to share the Privacy Screen window instead of your whole screen.
5. If something slips — panic
Press ⌘ ⇧ B to instantly pause the shared feed. Your audience sees a clean placeholder until you resume.
Restoring a purchase
On a new Mac, open ScreenVeil, choose Restore, and enter your purchase email. Open the link we email you on that Mac to restore Pro.
