Abstract
Aspects for automatically masking sensitive information during screen sharing are described. In an embodiment, one or more processors are configured for detecting a first event corresponding to a start screen sharing session in a webpage browser; transmitting a first notification to the webpage browser to indicate the first event; masking sensitive data images in the webpage browser; detecting a second event corresponding to a stop screen sharing session in the webpage browser; transmitting a second notification to the webpage browser to indicate the second event; and unmasking the sensitive data images in the webpage browser upon receipt of the second notification. The first event and the second event are detected by a screen capturing agent in communication with the webpage browser. Communications between the screen capturing agent and the webpage browser are facilitated using Inter-Process Communication (IPC).
