How to Stay Invisible During Screen Sharing (Without Anyone Knowing)
Your AI assistant does not have to show up when you share your screen. Here is how GeekBye stays completely hidden during Zoom, Google Meet, and any video call.
How to Stay Invisible During Screen Sharing
You're in a technical interview. The interviewer asks you to share your screen.
Your heart skips a beat.
Not because of the coding challenge. Because you're wondering: will they see my interview assistant?
With GeekBye, the answer is no. Here's how it works.
The Problem with Screen Sharing
Most apps show up when you share your screen. Browser tabs. Desktop apps. Notification pop-ups.
Interviewers see everything.
That's a problem if you're using any kind of help tool. Even something as innocent as your notes app can raise eyebrows.
You need privacy without suspicion.
How GeekBye Stays Hidden
GeekBye uses a native system feature called content protection. It's the same technology banks use to protect sensitive information.
When invisibility mode is on:
- Zoom can't see it
- Google Meet can't see it
- Microsoft Teams can't see it
- OBS can't record it
- Any screen capture software is blocked
The app is simply invisible to anything trying to capture your screen.
One Click Control
Click the eye icon in the navbar. That's it.
When visible mode is on, a subtle red border appears around the app as a reminder. When you're invisible, the border disappears.
Need to show GeekBye during pair programming or a presentation? One click to make it visible. Interview starting? One click to hide it again.
Test It Yourself
Don't take our word for it. Try it:
- Open GeekBye and enable invisibility mode (eye icon)
- Start a test call on Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams
- Share your screen
- Check the preview - GeekBye won't appear
You can also test with OBS or any third-party screen capture tool. The result is always the same: GeekBye stays hidden.
Works on Mac and Windows
The invisibility feature works identically on both platforms:
- macOS: Uses native screen capture protection
- Windows: Uses Windows display capture blocking
Same experience. Same peace of mind.
What About Screenshots?
Smart question. When you take a screenshot with GeekBye running, the app automatically excludes itself.
Your screenshots show exactly what everyone else sees: everything except GeekBye.
No accidental reveals. No awkward explanations.
Real Privacy, Real Confidence
The best part of invisibility mode isn't the technology.
It's the confidence.
You can focus on the interview. On the code. On communicating your ideas clearly.
Not on whether someone can see your screen.
That mental freedom changes everything.
