# 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:

1. Open GeekBye and enable invisibility mode (eye icon)
2. Start a test call on Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams
3. Share your screen
4. 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.
