About winhider

WinHider hides user-selected windows from screen-sharing views and from parts of the Windows interface. The product description says hidden windows can be excluded from applications such as video-meeting software and can also be removed from the taskbar and Alt-Tab task switcher. This can help users keep selected windows out of a presentation or screen share while they work. The tool is intended for choosing which windows should not appear in the shared view. Hiding a window from a meeting capture does not necessarily close the application or stop its activity; the evidence describes visibility controls, not application shutdown. It does not specify which screen-sharing programs are supported or how the hiding mechanism behaves with protected or full-screen content. WinHider is a Windows utility for controlling the visibility of defined windows during screen sharing and in task-switching interfaces. Its practical behavior may depend on the target application and capture method. The evidence establishes the hiding purpose but does not support broader privacy or security guarantees.
