Meeting Privacy

How to Blur Other Windows While Presenting on Mac

If you present frequently on macOS, this workflow helps you keep one app visible while all background windows stay protected.

Why Presenting Leaks Still Happen

Most leaks happen during context switches: you open one browser tab, notifications pop up, or chat windows flash on top. Manual minimize/hide flows are easy to forget in live calls.

A Better Presenting Flow on Mac

  1. Open the app you want to present.
  2. Set it as the Cover App in Veil.
  3. Toggle Veil before you start sharing.
  4. Use Peek for temporary reveal, then return to protection.

Why This Beats Manual Cleanup

Works for Zoom, Meet, and Teams

Whether you run sales demos, internal walkthroughs, or client onboarding calls, this flow keeps your active content visible and avoids accidental exposure.
