Every streamer has leaked something once — an address in a DM, a payout number, the map reveal you swore you wouldn’t spoil. A privacy scene in OBS works, but it takes setup, a hotkey you remember under pressure, and a switch back you forget half the time. Kloot’s Cover is one deck key: tap it and an opaque panel snaps over your screen — full screen or just a section — faster than you can alt-tab. Here is how to set it up, on the real panel and the real overlay.

What you’ll build
A one-tap privacy cover on a deck key — full screen or a drag-placed region, solid, frosted, or pixelate — that snaps over your stream instantly and reveals just as fast.
Paste your single Kloot overlay URL into one Browser source in OBS and size it to your canvas. That one source powers your covers and every other Kloot tool — you never add another browser source.
Already have Kloot in OBS from another tool? Skip this — the cover rides the source you already added.
Open the Cover tool. The big Full screen button is the panic shield — one tap covers everything. Below it sit section presets for the usual suspects: bottom bar (chat and taskbar), top-left or top-right (notifications), corners, and a center band for spoiler strips.
Start with Full screen. It is the cover you will actually reach for under pressure — add section covers once the reflex exists.
Solid is a flat panel in your color, Frosted adds a glass-like texture, Pixelate is the classic censor mosaic. Every fill is painted on an opaque base — that is deliberate, because OBS browser sources ignore CSS blur, so an opaque panel is the only cover that can’t leak.
Near-black reads cleanest for Solid and Frosted. Pixelate keeps a fixed dark base no matter what color you pick.
Drag the cover on the preview to move it, drag a corner to resize; the X/Y/W/H readout tracks it in % of your screen. Switch to circle when you are hiding a webcam corner — it holds a true 1:1 as you scale it.
Pin the cover to your deck: one press covers, one press reveals — from your browser or your phone. You can run up to three covers, each on its own key, toggled independently. Tap it once before you go live so the reflex is there when the DM pops.
Put the full-screen cover on the same deck row every stream — panic buttons only work when your thumb knows where they live.
Once the key is pinned, the whole move is two taps — cover and reveal. Here’s the loop, and why your stream never skips a beat.
A DM pops with your address in it. You have to open a wallet or a payout dashboard. The map reveal you promised not to spoil is loading. Every streamer has leaked one of these — the cover exists for the half-second before it happens.
Press the deck key and an opaque panel lands over the screen — full screen or the exact region you chose. Opaque means opaque: nothing behind it leaks, not even a blur artifact, no matter how a clip gets paused frame by frame.
The cover is a visual layer on your overlay — it doesn’t touch your scene, your sources, or your audio. Keep talking while you handle it: viewers hear you the whole time and see a clean panel instead of a frozen frame or a dead scene.
The same key toggles the cover off and the screen is back, exactly as you left it. Run up to three covers — a panic full-screen, a bottom-bar, a webcam circle — each on its own key, each toggled independently.
The cover earns its deck key in the half-second before something private hits the VOD:
When: You have to open Discord, WhatsApp, or email mid-stream — and you don’t know what’s sitting in there.
Why it works: One tap covers the screen before you alt-tab. Names, addresses, and “do not read this on stream” messages never hit the VOD.
When: Payout dashboards, a crypto wallet, your bank tab, analytics with revenue numbers on them.
Why it works: The cover is opaque by design — even a clip paused frame by frame shows a flat panel, not a smeared blur someone can squint through.
When: Map reveals, loading screens, character selects in tournaments — anything the room isn’t supposed to see yet.
Why it works: Cover just the spoiler band or region and keep the rest of the scene live. Reveal it on your cue, not the game’s.
When: Someone’s at the door, a package needs signing, family walks through the frame.
Why it works: The deck runs on your phone, so you can cover the stream from across the room — and keep narrating while you deal with it.
Solid, frosted, or pixelate — every preview below is the real overlay renderer snapping over a screen, and every fill is opaque by design.

A flat, fully opaque panel in any color — the no-questions-asked cover.
Snap a brand-color block over the whole screen while you check a payout dashboard. It reads as a deliberate, produced moment — not a stream that broke.

An opaque base with a subtle noise texture — the glass look, without the leak.
The classy default for a full-screen cover: it looks like frosted glass, but it’s painted on an opaque base — nothing behind it shows through, ever.
Tints to any color — near-black reads cleanestMarco V.

The classic censored-block grid — instantly readable as “hidden on purpose”.
Perfect over a DM window or a face in an IRL frame: viewers immediately understand something is deliberately hidden. Its base stays fixed dark, so privacy holds regardless of color.
Same one-tap toggle as every fillMarco V.

Full screen is one preset of seven — any cover can be a drag-placed section instead.
Cover only the message pane and keep the rest of the screen live: bottom-bar for chat, top-right for notifications, center band for a spoiler strip, or drag your own rectangle or circle anywhere.
Up to three covers, each on its own keyFull screen is the panic shield — or cover just a section: bottom bar, a notification corner, a spoiler band. OBS ignores CSS blur, so the panels are opaque and never leak.
Because blur can’t work there. CSS backdrop blur is a no-op inside an OBS browser source — the overlay can’t read the pixels of the sources behind it, so a “blur” renders as an invisible rectangle and hides nothing. Kloot paints an opaque panel instead: solid, frosted, or pixelate, every fill on an opaque base, so nothing behind it can leak — not even in a paused frame.
No. The cover is a visual layer on your overlay — it never touches your scene, sources, or audio. Your mic and game sound keep rolling, so you can keep talking to chat while the screen is hidden.
For the panic moment, yes. A privacy scene needs to be built ahead of time, switched to (and back) via OBS or a hotkey, and it replaces your whole scene. The cover is one key on the deck already open in your browser or on your phone, it works over whatever scene is live, and the same key brings everything back exactly as it was.
Yes. Full screen is one preset of seven — bottom bar, top-left, top-right, both lower corners, and a center band cover the common cases, or drag your own rectangle or circle anywhere. You can run up to three covers at once, each toggled from its own key.
