About Blur It
Blur It is a browser extension that hides sensitive information on web pages so you can share your screen on Zoom, Meet or Loom without exposing it. The goal is to replace manual redaction in a video editor with a quick step taken before you start recording.
You can click a number, name or email to blur it, or draw a box so that everything inside a region is blurred at once. Blurs persist across tab switches and page reloads, so they stay in place if you refresh mid-call. Typical targets include API keys, customer details and revenue numbers.
Blur It is a commercial product with a Chrome Web Store listing, a license purchase flow, a pricing page and a 30-day money-back guarantee. The site cites a 4.1 rating on the Chrome Web Store.
