Email addresses

Your emails stay off-screen.

In a tutorial, one tab switch is enough to show your inbox — or a client's. Email addresses are the most common data in screen recordings.

Where it appears most often

  • An inbox shown by mistake
  • Form fields and login pages
  • Email signatures and shared documents
  • Messaging notifications

How ScanMyVid spots it

  • Every readable address is detected, even small in a sidebar.
  • Your clients' and contacts' addresses are flagged like your own.
  • On a static shot, the alert covers the whole display time, not a single frame.

Why it's risky

A published address attracts spam and targeted phishing, and it's half of your login credentials.

The tip before filming

Set up a browser profile dedicated to recording, with no personal session open.

Publish with peace of mind.
