What the app hides on screen

What this is

The application is made to be shown on camera: streamers set it up while live, guide authors record it, screenshots go to support. So it covers sensitive text by itself — on every page of every module and in the app window around them — and there is nothing to switch on for that.

What is covered

• the address of this computer inside your home network, on its own or inside a longer line
• the secret key that overlay links carry, the access= part
• long runs of letters and digits — that is the shape of a platform token or a key
• the Windows path that contains your account name, the one starting C:\Users\
• your email address

Two things are deliberately left alone. The address that means *this very computer* — localhost and its numeric form — is never covered: it is the same on every PC, so hiding it would say nothing about you and would only make the screen harder to read for the many streamers who run everything on one machine. And overlay pages are not touched at all: they draw the picture your viewers see, and there is nothing private in them.

How to use it

1. Blurred text: click it. The text stays blurred until you click, and clicking again blurs it back. Only the smallest piece that holds the value is blurred — one address, not the whole list around it.
2. A field full of dots: click inside it. The dots are there so the value does not read off the screen; the moment the cursor is in the field you see and edit the real text as usual. Leave the field and the dots come back.
3. Copy buttons are unaffected. Nothing is replaced under the blur — the page still holds the real value, so a widget page's own copy button puts the working link in the clipboard, not a row of dots. Where that button sits and what it looks like is in the guide "Overlays in OBS".
4. Pop-up hints and drop-down lists work differently. Windows draws those itself, and blur does not reach them, so there the text is genuinely shortened: an address keeps its first half and loses the rest, and a hint that carried an overlay key shows dots instead of it. There is nothing to click open in those two places.
5. Nothing is remembered, and that is on purpose. What you revealed goes back to blurred as soon as that part of the page is redrawn, and a page you open for the first time — a module installed today included — arrives covered without anyone having added anything to it.

What it cannot do

There is no setting for any of this: no switch to turn it off, no list of exceptions, no way to say "always show this one". The same rules apply to every page.

It hides text, it does not take anything back. If a link with the key was on camera before you noticed, blurring it afterwards changes nothing — whoever wrote it down still has it. Making a key that was seen useless is a separate step with a price attached, and the guide "Core" describes it under Change the key.

It recognises shapes, not secrets. An address, a key, a long token, a Windows profile path, an email — those have a form it can spot. A password typed as an ordinary word, your legal name in a chat message, the name of a private channel: it has no way of knowing those are yours to keep, and they stay on screen.

It works on the screen only. It covers what is drawn in the window, and it does not reach into the log file on your disk. What is stripped out of a log before that log goes anywhere is a different mechanism entirely — the guide "Help" says what an attached log contains.
