Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to mask components of an application displayed during a screen sharing session, the masking comprising: displaying a first application and a second application on a first screen, the first application including a first component having a predefined region enclosed by a border, the second application including a second component having a predefined region enclosed by a border, the predefined region of the first component obscuring a portion of the predefined region of the second component such that a portion of the first component border defines a common boundary between the predefined region of the first component and the predefined region of the second component; capturing the display of the first screen to create a captured display; determining that the first component should be displayed on a second screen during a screen sharing session, and that the second component should be masked on the second screen during the screen sharing session; identifying the first component with a visible indication by setting a color of the first component border to a first color; determining a masking border of the second component by adding one or more border segments to a visible portion of the second component border, the one or more border segments extending along the common boundary; identifying the second component with a masking indication by setting a color of the masking border of the second component to a second color that is different than the first color; displaying the first component with the first component border of the first color and the second component with the masking border of the second color on the first screen; masking the second component in the captured display so that the second component is not visible in the captured display; and transmitting the captured display to the second screen.
