A pet placed so it sits in the corner of your eye all day ends up in every recording you make. Most people find out during playback, usually four minutes into a client demo they have already sent.
What screen sharing tools actually capture. Here is the part people get wrong. A pet during screenshare behaves differently depending on what you hand over: pick one window and the pet usually falls outside the frame, pick a whole display and it rides along every time.
Four ways to pause codex pet motion. These are ordered by how much they cost you. Start at the top and stop as soon as one of them solves it.
Hide pixel pet overlays for one app instead of quitting everything. Quitting Codex to sit through a fifteen-minute call costs more than it saves, especially with a long task still running in the background. Two options sit between doing nothing and killing the app.
Ninety seconds before the call. This is the whole check, and it catches nearly everything that goes wrong:
- Start the recording tool and read the preview thumbnail, not the meeting window
- Open the window you plan to share and look at all four corners
- Record five seconds, stop, and watch it back
- If you are sharing a whole display, hide the pet first
- Ask whoever else is on the call. They notice things you stopped seeing months ago
