Streamer / OPSEC mode

OPSEC mode hides identifying information in the GameVault 2 interface so you can take screenshots, record videos or stream without exposing yourself or your server.

What it hides​

  • User names, including your own and other users in the community views.
  • Email addresses in profile and account screens.
  • Your server address, replaced with a placeholder.
  • Profile pictures are replaced with generated avatars.

The masking happens only in the client interface. Server data, downloads and game files are untouched, and nothing is sent anywhere.

Enabling it​

Open Settings → Appearance and enable Streamer / OPSEC Mode. The change applies immediately and persists across restarts.

Appearance settings with the Streamer / OPSEC mode toggle

You can also toggle it from anywhere in the app with Ctrl+Shift+O on Windows and Linux, or Cmd+Shift+O on macOS.

Web UI and desktop app

The setting is part of the shared interface, so it is available in both GameVault 2 and the Web UI.

Before you publish​

Check the screenshot for the parts OPSEC mode does not cover:

  • Game titles and cover art (they say something about your library).
  • Timestamps and playtime, if they reveal when you play.
  • Server-generated content such as news posts that mention your instance.
  • Anything you typed into a search field or chat.
