Phone numbers

A phone number doesn't go unnoticed.

A notification popping up mid-tutorial, a sticky note stuck to the screen, a business card on the desk: a published number means calls and texts for months.

Where it appears most often

  • Notifications and incoming calls during a screen recording
  • Sticky notes, notebooks, and business cards
  • Storefronts, trucks, and posters filmed outdoors
  • A number dictated out loud

How ScanMyVid spots it

  • Known formats (French, European, international) are recognized without AI, so nothing is missed.
  • A number inside an IBAN or an email isn't counted twice.
  • Spoken numbers are spotted in the time-stamped transcript.

Why it's risky

A number is used to reach you, but also to take over your accounts by SMS. It's the gateway to SIM-swap scams.

The tip before filming

Turn on Do Not Disturb before recording your screen: it's the top source of exposed numbers.
