Dynamic screen sharing.
Only the windows you choose.

Tag the windows you choose onto a virtual monitor and share it on Teams, Meet, or Zoom. Switch between several windows live, keep a big monitor readable, and leave everything else private.

The problem

Screen sharing on a Mac has two big problems. PrivacyStage fixes both.

You can only share one window at a time, and a big monitor comes through unreadably small. So you end up re-sharing constantly or exposing your whole screen.

Sharing the normal way

Stuck and squinting

  • You can only share one window at a time, so switching means stop, re-share, and wait.
  • A big monitor comes through so small that people ask you to zoom in.
  • Notifications, DMs, and stray tabs are all exposed.
  • You rearrange your windows before every call.
Sharing a PrivacyStage monitor

Dynamic and readable

  • Share several windows at once and switch between them live, with no re-sharing.
  • Windows are sent at a readable size, so a big monitor never looks tiny.
  • Only the windows you tag are ever visible.
  • Your real windows never move. PrivacyStage captures them.
How it works

Live in four steps

A virtual display comes online instantly. Tag what to show. Share it. Forget about it.

1

New Virtual Monitor

Click once and a hidden virtual display comes online instantly. Name it, pick 720p, 900p, or 1080p.

2

Tag your windows

Click the windows to share, or tag a whole app so all its current and future windows come along.

3

Share in your call

In Teams, Meet, or Zoom, choose Share Screen and pick the display named after your monitor.

4

It follows you

Click into any tagged window and the shared monitor shows it, switching automatically as you work.

The signature move

The shared view follows your active window

Tag a few windows once. Whichever tagged window you click into becomes what everyone sees, instantly and hands-free.

Everything in the box

Built for people who share their screen all day

Three layouts, one Layout picker

Follow Active Window for a clean one-at-a-time share, Grid to tile every tagged window at once (up to nine, aspect-fit), or Primary + Thumbnails to keep one window big with the rest on deck.

App-level tagging

Tag a whole app and every current and future window comes along automatically, shown as removable icon chips.

Follow-active-window

The shared monitor tracks whichever tagged window is frontmost and hot-swaps the moment your focus changes.

Pick your resolution

720p, 900p, or 1080p per monitor, always share-friendly, so your content never looks tiny on the other side.

Per-monitor enable / disable

Flip a monitor off between calls and keep its entire configuration (names, tags, resolution) ready for next time.

Remembers everything

Monitors, names, resolutions, layout, and both tag levels persist across launches.

Universal binary

One download runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, with no separate versions to choose between.

Lives in your menu bar

Check what's live, add a source, or jump straight into a call, without ever opening the full window.

App tagging

Tag once. Every window follows.

Working in an app that spawns new windows all day: a browser, a design tool, a terminal? Tag the app itself. PrivacyStage covers all of its current and future windows, and per-window selection steps aside with a tidy “via app” badge.

  • Bundle-level tags always restore on relaunch
  • Removable icon chips for every tagged app
  • Mix app tags and single-window tags freely
Grid layout

Show the whole picture at once

Some sessions need one window; others need the full board. Switch to Grid and every tagged window appears together, each a live, independent capture stream, tiled and aspect-fit into an auto-sized layout up to nine tiles.

  • One live stream per window, all updating at once
  • Auto-sized, aspect-fit tiles up to 9 windows
  • Flip between Follow and Grid from the Layout picker

Menu bar

Everything, one click away

PrivacyStage lives in your menu bar so you never have to open the full window mid-call. See what's live, glance at what's on screen, add a source on the fly, or jump straight back in.

  • See which monitor is live and what's on screen at a glance
  • Add a window to share without leaving your call
  • Open the full app or quit, right from the menu bar
Private by design

What isn't tagged is never seen

PrivacyStage paints only your tagged windows onto a hidden virtual display. Everything else (your inbox, your DMs, that other monitor) simply isn't part of the stream.

Only tagged windows leave your Mac

Notifications, background apps, and untagged windows never enter the shared view.

No account required

No sign-in, no dashboard, no password to manage. Paste your key once and PrivacyStage activates itself.

Screen Recording, nothing more

PrivacyStage asks only for macOS Screen Recording, the standard permission every capture app needs.

Questions

Good to know

What exactly gets shared?

Only the windows you tag to a monitor. PrivacyStage captures those windows and paints the active one onto a hidden virtual display; you share that display in your call. Untagged windows, notifications, and background apps never appear.

Will it move or resize my real windows?

No. Your windows stay exactly where they are. PrivacyStage only captures them. Nothing is moved, resized, or sent to another desktop.

How does the free trial work?

You get 3 days with every feature unlocked. Trial start is stored in your Keychain, so it survives reinstalls. When it ends, enter a license key to keep going.

How do I get my license key after paying?

Checkout is handled by Paddle. The moment payment clears, your license key is generated and emailed to you. Open PrivacyStage, paste the key, and you're unlocked. No account required.

Which Macs are supported?

macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, on both Apple Silicon and Intel. It's a single download that runs natively on either, with no separate versions and no security warnings.

Which call apps does it work with?

Any app that can share a screen, including Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Zoom. In the call's Share Screen dialog, pick the display named after your PrivacyStage monitor.

Share smarter on your next call.

Download PrivacyStage, tag a window, and see the difference in your very next meeting.
