I tested DataBlur for a few screen-sharing situations and liked how quickly I could hide something without stopping what I was doing. Being able to drag a blur area is especially handy when there’s a specific part of a page I don’t want visible. I also like that the settings can stay applied for a site, so I don’t have to recreate the same blur zones every time I open it.
installed it 11 minutes before a demo i had completely forgotten about. that's the review

doesn't blur inside the built-in pdf viewer, had to download the file first. everything on normal pages works great

Tried DataBlur with a few different blur options and everything worked as expected I could quickly blur specific elements, areas, and text without any hassle pretty handy when you need to hide something sensitive before sharing your screen.

most about DataBlur is how simple the concept is: instead of creating fake data or spending hours editing a recording afterward, you can blur sensitive information directly while you are presenting or recording. This makes live demos feel much safer and less

modes are also well thought out. Element blur is useful when you want to hide a particular webpage component, while area blur works better when you need to cover a larger section of the screen. Text blur is convenient for individual pieces of information, and title blur can help prevent

I do zoom quote walkthroughs in carrier portals all day. every dropdown and recent-quotes list is an acccident waiting to happen - other clients' names, revenue figures. compliance officer approved it in one meeting because nothing syncs anywhere. first tool ever where compliance was the easy conversation.

I build notion workspaces for clients, each one gets a handover video. my workspace switcher and private sidebar kept showing up in every recording - clients seeing names of other clients. now both stay blurred. my german clients are... thorough about gdpr. the worried emails stopped. that alone was worth it.

i run support and orders for three shopify stores. when i record how-to videos for the owners, the orders list show customer names, addresses, phone numbers. auto detect catches names and emails fine; portuguese phone format it miss, those i blur by hand. still - 8 minute video used to take me an hour to censor. now it's the video length plus two minutes.
