Tabs and notifications

Notifications don't belong in your edit.

A private message popping up in the corner, a tab with an awkward title, the history unfolding: a screen recording captures everything, including what you didn't plan.

Where it appears most often

  • Messaging and social media notifications
  • Tab titles and bookmarks
  • History and search suggestions
  • Conversation previews

How ScanMyVid spots it

  • Notification and tab text is read and classified.
  • Harmless elements (menus, UI) don't trigger an alert.
  • Each alert shows its severity, so you handle what matters first.

Why it's risky

It isn't always critical data, but it's often someone else's privacy.

The tip before filming

Hide the bookmarks bar and close personal tabs before every recording.

Publish with peace of mind.
