Screenshots and screen recordings taken during private video calls, FaceTime, Zoom, Google Meet, WhatsApp Video, or any other platform, that capture intimate moments without the other person's knowledge raise privacy concerns. Personal image rights apply fully.

Many states also have specific laws regarding the recording of private communications without all-party consent. If someone captured your image during a video call without your knowledge, they may be violating these statutes.

ScanErase's biometric scanning identifies video call screenshots wherever they have been posted online. Because screenshots share your facial geometry regardless of their format, biometric scanning finds them across platforms where pixel-matching tools would not. Your exposure report details these findings.
