Blurring Names in Peek 360
Hello,
Is it possible to blur names or certain areas of a screen recording using Peek? Or is it possible with any screen recording software within Articulate 360? I'm trying not to use Storyline or Studio at this point. I'd like it to be a true screen recording.
Thanks, Jessie

Hi Jessie!
Is it possible to blur names or certain areas of a screen recording in Articulate 360?
Good question. There isn't a built-in blurring feature available in any of the authoring apps, but one idea is to use the Media Library in Storyline 360. David Anderson covers the steps in this video demo:
We're also tracking requests for a true built-in blur tool, so I'll share your post with my team.
Let me know if you have any other questions in the meantime!
Hi Katie, is there any plans for a built-in blur tool coming? Would be really helpful to be able to do this directly from Peek.
Hi Sam!
Thanks for checking in on this!
The Blur Tool feature hasn't made it to our Feature Roadmap yet, since our development team has been prioritizing other features. I've included you in the feature report and will update this discussion as soon as we have news to share!
In the meantime, for your reference, here's a deeper look at how we manage feature requests.
Okay, thanks!
This would be really useful as a tool in peek 360.
Please add a blur feature to 360 recording.
I work at a pharmacy and would love to have this. But I've seen threads more than a decade old requesting this, and every response has been along the same boilerplate "we'll take a look at it" as if you contacted your congressperson.
Hello ClintKantor,
Thanks for reaching out!
We have frozen feature development for Peek 360. This means we won't make any significant changes, including adding new features, to it going forward. As a workaround, I recommend checking out this solution, which involves using Storyline 360 to hide personal information from videos. Feel free to open a case with our support team here if you need any help with the implementation!
Hi Jose, thanks for your reply. I've constructed a workaround in case anyone is interested:
If I'm captured a video in Windows Media Player (of lets say how do solve a problem with a prescription at a pharmacy)...
- I expand it to full screen
- I open my Snipping Tool (Windows) and screen shot the whole page.
- I open MS PAINT. I "paste from" the image which is now on the desktop
- I use the MS PAINT eraser tool to blur out HIPAA and save
- I open Articulate Replay and paste the image, which imports as a 5 second clip, which I can then expand.
