| Windows 11’s New Feature Warns You When Someone Is Snooping on Your Screen. |
Ever get that creepy feeling like someone’s watching your screen? Well, worry no more—Windows 11 is rolling out a smart new feature that can tell when someone’s peeking over your shoulder.
This upcoming feature is called Onlooker Detection, part of Microsoft’s Presence Sensing technology. Basically, it uses special sensors to detect if someone else is looking at your screen—and then alerts you immediately.
How Does It Work?
Using a built-in human presence sensor, this feature can spot when there’s more than one face in front of your screen. When it detects a "snooper," Windows 11 gives you a few options:
-
Automatically dim your screen so others can’t easily read it.
-
Send you a pop-up notification warning you that someone’s watching.
-
Or do both at the same time!
It even logs the date and time of each privacy "breach," so you can look back if needed.
What Do You Need to Use It?
To use this feature, your laptop or PC needs to have a presence detection sensor (HPD)—which is already available in many modern devices.
You can check if your device supports it by going to:
Settings → System → Power & Battery
Also, Onlooker Detection will only be available on certain processors, including:
-
Qualcomm Snapdragon X
-
Latest AMD processors
-
Latest Intel chips
Why Is This Feature a Big Deal?
If you often work in public places—like cafés, shared offices, or college libraries—this feature could be a total game-changer. It helps protect your privacy and gives you peace of mind when handling sensitive info, whether it’s work documents, personal data, or even private messages.
Microsoft is stepping up its privacy game with Windows 11. With Onlooker Detection, you get an extra layer of security in a super smart way. So, if you want to keep prying eyes away from your screen, make sure your device is compatible and get ready to enjoy this new feature!
