I've had this on my to do list for a while, but I decided to finish it up tonight. StreamPrivacy is a simple program that hides windows from screen capture programs by making them layered windows. Useful if you stream your desktop and don't want certain things appearing on stream. You can also toggle the visibility of SC2 if you don't want to show the login screen for example by pressing Ctrl+Alt+P.

WARNING: Using this program to hide certain other programs might cause excessive CPU usage depending on system factors. This generally applies to programs that use skinned or themed windows, such as Skype.

WARNING: Will not function on Windows 8. Will not function with Aero enabled.


In general this program is no longer necessary as you should never be using monitor capture any more. This program was made when monitor capture was the only available method for streaming; with OBS and the availability of window and game capture you should never need to use monitor capture.

[image loading]


Requirements: .NET 4.0, Aero disabled.

Note that using this on programs with complex windows (Skype, browsers, etc) can cause reduced performance.

Changelog:
  • b20110630:
    • Save settings on exit.

  • b20110522:
    • Handle errors better to reduce risk of crashing when new programs are added.

  • b20110521b:
    • Added support to hide the SC2 window (Ctrl+Alt+P)
    • Added link to this thread.

  • b20110521:
    • First release.

Suggestion: have another option to have a toggle hotkey so that people who are logging into starcraft can hide the window with a touch of a button (or combination of buttons)

ei: Generic streamer says, "I was streaming some old patch replays, but I'd like to login to battle.net to ladder. I'd like to do this without stopping the stream or revealing my real-ID (or pulling a day9)... Oh wait, thanks to R1CH I can!"
*presses ctrl+alt+home*
"Thank you R1CH!"

Or you could not be a dick and actually pay the author for a useful piece of software.

I originally attempted to do that, what ever the author uses as a payment site did not accept either my debit or credit card. I attempted to contact the author, never got a reply, and was in desperate need of something to all me to stream audio and mic, so I turned to torrents. Assumptions will only get you so far.

Awesome work, R1CH, will be really nice for the streamers.
