Microsoft’s New Windows Patent: Smart Screen Sharing to Shield Sensitive Info

Microsoft’s latest patent offers an innovative screen sharing feature in Windows, enabling users to hide sensitive or awkward content seamlessly.

Microsoft has been granted a new patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that enhances privacy during screen sharing by allowing users to selectively hide applications.

This feature is particularly useful during meetings when unexpected messages could pop up on screen.

Users can temporarily hide or “hibernate” applications with flexible timing options such as 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or for the remainder of the day.
