An application that allows you to hide certain windows when sharing your full screen
Invisiwind (short for Invisible Window) is an application that allows you to hide certain windows when sharing your full screen.
I think this is best explained with a couple of screenshots I took during a Zoom meeting:
The screenshot on the left is what I see. The one on the right is what everyone else sees.
Using this tool, firefox and slack have been hidden so anyone watching the screenshare is unable to see those windows. However, I can continue to use them as usual on my side.
Note: this tool works with any app (MS Teams, Discord, OBS, etc) and not just Zoom.
Simple: The tool performs dll injection to SetWindowDisplayAffinity to WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE
.
To use this application, you can either use the installer or the portable version.
Invisiwind
from the Start Menu.Invisiwind.exe
. You will now be dropped into a terminal.Running it directly drops you into interactive mode. You can type help
for more information.
You can also directly invoke it with commandline arguments. Type invisiwind --help
for argument specification.
Windows 10 v2004 or above. On previous versions of windows, a black screen shows up instead of hiding the window.
No
Tip: you can hide this window from view too.
Yes! In the zip bundle you'll find a AutoHotkey script that hides windows when you press Ctrl+J. Feel free to customize.
