Summary:Techniques for sharing protection for a screen sharing experience are described. In at least some embodiments, a screen sharing experience involves a user sharing portions of their display screen with other users as part of a communication session. According to various embodiments, a user that is sharing their screen with other devices as part of a screen sharing experience can protect a portion of the screen from being shared by designating the portion as sharing protected. Thus, content from the identified portion of the user's screen is encrypted to prevent other devices that are unable to decrypt the content from viewing the content. According to one or more embodiments, a user can be designated as sharing privileged such that the user is permitted access to an encryption key to decrypt and view sharing protected as part of a screen sharing experience.
