# Hide from Screen Capture

> Exclude Proximate's cursor overlay from screenshots, screen recordings, and screen sharing.

If you record your screen, share it during calls, or take screenshots regularly, you may not want Proximate's overlay to appear in the capture. The **Hide from Screen Capture** setting makes Proximate's cursor items invisible to all screen capture methods while keeping them visible to you on your display.

## Enabling It

Go to **Settings → General** and toggle **Hide from Screen Capture** on.

When enabled, Proximate's overlay windows will appear as blank (invisible) areas in screenshots, screen recordings, and screen sharing sessions. You'll still see everything on your physical display — only the captured output is affected.

<Note>
  This setting applies to all of Proximate's cursor items at once. You cannot selectively hide individual elements from capture.
