Problem
A remote editor's screen-sharing session exposes an unrelated client's folder in the file browser, creating accidental cross-client disclosure during a live review.
Solution
Root Cause / Diagnostic:
Screen-sharing during live creative reviews often reveals file browser windows, desktop folders, and client directories containing competitor brand names or unreleased video titles. This unintentional disclosure damages professional trust and can breach client NDAs.
Actionable Fix:
1. Mandate 'Application Window Sharing' rather than full desktop sharing during Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams review calls.
2. Standardize editor workstation organization: keep all client directories inside isolated parent folders and hide desktop icons before initiating a screen-share.
3. Utilize specialized review software (Frame.io Live Review or Louper.io) that streams only the NLE playback window without showing the desktop environment.
Pro Tip:
Use Louper.io or Frame.io Live Review for real-time editorial approvals; these tools stream only the timeline video feed directly from your NLE without exposing desktop files.
