Thank you for the unnecessary comment.
This we already knew.

This is easy enough to work around:

1 - Block remote input
2 - Remove everything that is "private" from all but the laptop screen

Exactly....still a major issue with our company.

So basically this is not a solution and there is no privacy. Just attach an external monitor to the laptop and bingo you can see what others are working on. I loved Team Viewer but this needs to be addressed

Yes, this needs to be resolved some way or some how......I have a laptop docked in to a Dell docking station. My laptop blacks out just fine, but you would think TeamViewer would be able to detect the other 2 external monitors to black them out as well. This is frustrating and can be a deal-killer for us. I really don't want to look at other solutions in the future, but this is huge for us.

Same issue here running multiple screens on a docking station.

Only one screen becomes black, the rest are visible to whoever is watching.

Teaviewer 12 does this with a desktop as well. Both monitors connected to video card. One monitor blanks out and the other stys visible. I found out when someone called me and told me sensitive spreadsheets were visible on my computer in the office while i was working from home.

Hi W_deFazio,

Thanks for your reply.
OK, i understand it, but what is the solution if i would like to show black all screens?
Any workaround about this problem?

I think "Show black screen" is a very good feature, but now it is a deficient feature.
I think, the best solution is the configurable "Show balck screen".
The users should be able to determine which screen will be black.

Hello pvtpeter,

Thank you for your post.

Because the monitor is not connected to the video card directly, that's a normal behavior with Laptops. TeamViewer will only be able to show black screen to the default screens, or the ones that are connected and configured from the video card.

Have a good week!!!
