81 - **Review Before Sharing:** Before starting a screen sharing session, close any unrelated applications or windows. Ensure no sensitive information, like passwords, private messages, or confidential documents, is visible.
82 - **Stay Aware:** During a screen sharing session, remember that everything on your screen is visible to the other party. Avoid accessing personal files or confidential information.
83 - **Use With Trusted Contacts:** As with audio and video calls, only use the screen sharing feature with individuals or groups you trust.
84 - **Understand Browser Permissions:** The browser will typically ask you which screen, application, or window you'd like to share. Ensure you're only sharing what's intended. If in doubt, choose to share a specific application or window rather than the entire screen.
