So basically there's a Windows API function that allows you to hide the window from being captured by any recording software / screen-sharing etc.

It's widely used in many open-source / privacy-based applications such as: OBS, Password manager KeePassXC, telegram mods (streamer mode option), and so on.

Settings > Security > Exclude from capture
