Rectangle blur tools miss rounded avatar chips and dynamic notifications. Prompt-based blur targets ‘the Slack sidebar’ or ‘the email column’ faster than keyframing every scroll.

Long tutorials need timeline discipline: redact first, then add voiceover references that no longer leak data.

For coding streams, decide whether terminal history reveals internal hostnames.
