Zoom recording privacy with automated blur
Gallery grids pack many small faces at aggressive compression—upload the native Zoom MP4, not a re-encoded phone rip.
What to blur
Faces, persistent name tags, chat sidebars if burned into video, and window titles on screen shares.
One-click alternative with BGBlur
Upload a clip and preview automatic face, plate, background, or prompt-based blur—no keyframes or nested timelines.
