Can I blur certain privacy sensitive information after recording a video?
I use Streams to make instruction video's for use by my co-workers.
We use a healthcare application. Some instructions require use of an actual patients record. I need to blur the sensitive information on the screen.
Any ideas?

Joan_van_den_Heuvel Weirdly I've just been asked the same thing. The only way I can think of is inserting your video into a PowerPoint, adding blurred shapes over the sensitive data and then re-rendering. That will take some organising though as it can be difficult to make the shapes appear and disappear at the right time. Some more specialist software like Camtasia allows you to do it quite easily. I'd say probably the easiest option is to create dummy data and use that for your video though. Is that going to be possible?

The new version of our screen recorder coming out in a few months to https://stream.office.com as part of Stream (on SharePoint) will have ability to ink over the screen and some basic layout. When that launches maybe it would be easier to use for this purpose of removing sensitive info on screen while recording?is the stream on sharepoint has live function already of blur?
