FeaturesInvisible overlay

On your screen. Not in the share.

The overlay is excluded from screen capture by the operating system. Zoom, Meet, Teams and recorders get whatever is behind it. Your notes stay yours.

Host: "Go ahead and share your whole screen."
ZoomGuruHidden from share

Nothing changes. The share shows your desktop and your deck. Your notes stay on your monitor, out of the capture, and the next line keeps writing.

Enforced below the app, not by the app

The window is marked as protected content at the OS level. Capture software is refused the pixels rather than politely asked to skip them, so it does not depend on which meeting app is running.

A teleprompter that survives a screen share

Notes in a second window get broadcast the moment you share your desktop, which is why most people end up reading off a phone. This one is on the same screen as your slides and still absent from the capture.

Ctrl+Shift+H when you want it gone

One shortcut hides it entirely — useful if you are about to hand over control of your machine, or you simply want a clean screen for a moment.

What it will not do

It hides the overlay from capture, not from the room. A person sitting behind you, or a second camera pointed at your monitor, sees what you see.
