During remote meetings, screen sharing, recordings, casting, or remote support, SafeW may work normally while desktop notifications, lock-screen previews, recent chats, or file names become visible to other people. Before sharing your screen, check both system notifications and SafeW privacy settings.
If your issue is delayed or missing notifications, use the notification delay guide. This advisory covers the opposite case: notifications appear correctly, but you do not want them exposed during screen sharing.
Check these areas before sharing
- Whether the system notification center shows message content.
- Whether lock-screen or desktop banners show sender names and snippets.
- Whether the SafeW recent chat list contains sensitive contacts or group names.
- Whether file names reveal clients, contracts, identity documents, or project codes.
- Whether the meeting app is recording or saving cloud playback.
Safer habits during meetings
Before a meeting, enable focus mode, hide notification previews, or share a single window instead of the entire screen. For sensitive chats, combine this with disappearing messages and screenshot protection, but do not treat any single switch as complete protection.
Managed company devices need extra care. Notifications, recording tools, remote assistance, and security software may be controlled by administrator policy. Do not bypass those settings privately; record the prompt and follow the company process.
30-second pre-meeting check: Hide notification previews, close sensitive chats, and confirm what exactly is being shared. This is usually easier than cleanup after exposure.
