Visible secret review
Flags potential API keys, tokens, credentials, internal hostnames, and account identifiers seen in sampled frames.
Pre-publication privacy review
Find sensitive information before a video is shared.
VideoLens Privacy mode reviews sampled frames, on-screen text, and transcript content for potential credentials, personal information, internal URLs, account details, and other material that may require redaction.

The direct answer
What VideoLens does
Screen recordings and demos can accidentally expose secrets in terminals, browser tabs, notifications, account menus, customer records, or spoken discussion. Manual review is necessary, but long recordings make brief exposures easy to miss.
VideoLens produces a prioritized list of possible exposures with timestamp evidence and suggested redaction actions, giving the reviewer a faster checklist before publication or wider distribution.
Why it helps
From linear video to reviewable evidence
PII and business context
Surfaces names, emails, addresses, customer data, private conversations, and other possible disclosure risks.
Redaction checklist
Turns each validated finding into a timestamped edit or review task.
Workflow
How the analysis works
Every stage is explicit and cached so the source can be checked and the analysis can be reused.
Provide the video locally or through a permitted accessible source.
Choose Privacy mode and specify the audience or disclosure standard you care about.
VideoLens scans the transcript, frame descriptions, and OCR timeline for potential exposures.
A human reviewer validates each cited moment and performs the necessary redaction or edit.
Output
What the report gives you
- Potential sensitive-data findings
- Timestamp and evidence for each item
- Severity and exposure context
- Prioritized redaction and verification tasks
Important limitation: This is a sampled, AI-assisted review—not a guarantee that every exposure will be detected and not a replacement for legal, compliance, or professional security review. Increase frame sampling for high-risk material and always perform final human review.
FAQ
Common questions
Can VideoLens guarantee a video contains no sensitive data?
No. Sampling and model interpretation can miss brief or unclear exposures. Privacy mode is an additional review layer, not a certification or substitute for human inspection.
Does Privacy mode upload the video to VideoLens servers?
The local and extension workflows do not use VideoLens-operated video storage. Model-processing calls use your OpenAI API key. The hosted app uses ephemeral session processing.
What kinds of information can it flag?
Potential examples include credentials, tokens, internal URLs, emails, names, customer records, account identifiers, private messages, and sensitive spoken content visible to the analysis pipeline.
