FAQ

Can I unblur screenshots?

For security reasons, screenshots are blurred in a way that makes un-blurring them impossible.

Will I lose important information by blurring screenshots? 

You can still tell what a user was doing by looking at blurred screenshots. The text is blurred but in most cases, it is possible to recognize non-work-related activities and get an understanding of what the person was doing.
