How to Blur parts of my demo once recording is complete?

Blur is an editing element that hides part of the screen in a recorded Flo. You add it after your recording is complete, from the Edit panel, and control where it sits on screen, how long it stays visible, and the intensity of the blur.

Why use Blur

Recordings often capture information that shouldn't be shared — customer names, email addresses, account numbers, internal dashboards. Blur lets you cover that content without re-recording the workflow. You can add multiple blurs to a single Flo, each with its own position and timing.

How to add a blur

1. Once your recording is done, open the Edit panel.
2. Select the Blur element. A blur box appears on your Flo.
3. Turn on the Hide other elements toggle. This hides every other element applied at that point in the Flo, so you can see the area you're covering clearly while you position and size the blur.
4. Enter a name for the blur. This helps you identify the right one when a Flo has several blurs applied.
5. Set the Start time and End time for the blur. Type the timestamp manually, or use the timeline slider.
6. Drag the blur box to position it over the area you want to hide.
7. Drag the edges of the box to resize it.
8. Choose the shape of the blur — rectangle or circle.
9. Adjust the strength of the blur using the intensity slider.
10. Click Apply. The blur is applied to your Flo. A panel listing the applied blurs will appear.

How to add more blurs

Click Add new in the Blur panel. A new blur box is added, and you can name it, specify the time, position the blur, and adjust it the same way.

How to remove a blur

In the Blur panel, click the three-dot menu on the blur you want to remove, then click Delete.

In the confirmation pop-up click Delete again.

Best practices

1. Set the Start time slightly before and the End time slightly after the sensitive content appears, so it stays covered through any transitions.
2. Use the circle shape for round elements such as profile photos and avatars, and the rectangle for text fields and table rows.
3. Name each blur after what it covers — for example, "Customer email" — rather than leaving generic names in place.
4. Play back the Flo after applying your blurs to confirm the content stays covered for the full duration.
