Selective screen sharing
View Patent ↗Disclosed are various examples for selective screen sharing. In one example, a computing device determines that a state of a destination device does not satisfy a compliance rule of a management service. The computing device also determines an area to obscure within a video stream using screen-sharing data. The video stream is generated by applying a transformation to a screen capture. The transformation obscures the area within the video stream. The video stream is transmitted to a destination device. In some cases, a user-specified modification to the area is also obtained. The video stream is updated by applying an updated transformation to the screen capture that obscures the updated area within the video stream.
1. A system for selective screen sharing, comprising:
a computing device; and
program instructions executable in the computing device that, when executed, cause the computing device to:
communicate with a destination device to determine that a state of the destination device does not satisfy a compliance rule of a management service;
determine an area of a screen capture to obscure;
generate a video stream by application of a transformation to the screen capture based at least in part on the state of the destination device that does not satisfy the compliance rule; and
transmit the video stream to the destination device.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the program instructions further cause the computing device to:
obtain a user-specified modification to the area of the screen capture to obscure; and
after the video stream is transmitted to the destination device, update the video stream by application of an updated transformation to the screen capture based at least in part on the user-specified modification.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein:
the transformation obscures the area within the video stream; and
the updated transformation obscures an updated area within the video stream based at least in part on the user-specified modification.
4. The system of claim 2 , wherein:
the transformation obscures the area within the video stream; and
the updated transformation permits an updated area within the video stream based at least in part on the user-specified modification.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the program instructions further cause the computing device to:
obtain a user-specified annotation; and
update the video stream to include the user-specified annotation.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the destination device is enrolled and managed by the management service.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transformation comprises application of an opaque layer or Gaussian blur to the area.
8. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a display device of the computing device, wherein the program instructions further cause the computing device to indicate the area on the display device by application of a translucent layer over the area.
9. A computer-implemented method for selective screen sharing, comprising:
communicating with a destination device to determine that a state of the destination device does not satisfy a compliance rule of a management service;
determining an area of a screen capture to obscure;
generating a video stream by application of a transformation to the screen capture based at least in part on the state of the destination device that does not satisfy the compliance rule; and
transmitting the video stream to the destination device.
10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
obtaining a user-specified modification to the area of the screen capture to obscure; and
after the transmitting, updating the video stream by application of an updated transformation to the screen capture based at least in part on the user-specified modification.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein:
the transformation obscures the area within the video stream; and
the updated transformation obscures an updated area within the video stream based at least in part on the user-specified modification.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein:
the transformation obscures the area within the video stream; and
the updated transformation permits an updated area within the video stream based at least in part on the user-specified modification.
13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
obtaining a user-specified annotation; and
updating the video stream to include the user-specified annotation.
14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the destination device is enrolled and managed by the management service.
15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the transformation comprises application of an opaque layer over the area based at least in part on the compliance rule.
16. The method of claim 9 , wherein the transformation comprises application of an opaque layer or Gaussian blur to the area.
17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying program instructions executable in a computing device that, when executed, cause the computing device to:
communicate with a destination device to determine that a state of the destination device does not satisfy a compliance rule of a management service;
determine an area of a screen capture to obscure;
generate a video stream by application of a transformation to the screen capture based at least in part on the state of the destination device that does not satisfy the compliance rule; and
transmit the video stream to the destination device.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the program instructions further cause the computing device to:
obtain a user-specified modification to the area of the screen capture to obscure; and
after the video stream is transmitted to the destination device, update the video stream by application of an updated transformation to the screen capture based at least in part on the user-specified modification.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the program instructions further cause the computing device to:
obtain a user-specified annotation; and
update the video stream to include the user-specified annotation.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the destination device is enrolled and managed by the management service.
