Intentional blur
Veil keeps one app readable while blurring other visible windows to reduce accidental exposure during screen sharing.
MacBook Teams share screen blurry
When blurry background windows are intentional.
If your active app is clear but background windows look blurred during a Teams call, a privacy overlay may be doing exactly what you asked it to do.
Quality problems
If the entire shared screen is blurry, check Teams quality settings, network conditions, and display scaling. Veil does not fix those issues.
Best workflow before a call
- Open the app or document you plan to present.
- Turn on Veil from the menu bar.
- Confirm the active window is clear before sharing your screen.
