Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for blocking screenshots and screen recordings of content are disclosed. A first media content frame is received from a first computer device. It is determined that one or more user interface elements are present in the first media content frame. The user interface elements are extracted from the first media content frame. The user interface elements are converted to video. The video is encrypted to prevent screenshot capture of the one or more user interface elements present in the first media content frame by a second computer device lacking a decryption key when the video is played on a digital screen of the second computer device. A second media content frame is generated including the first media content frame overlaid by the video. The second media content frame is transmitted to the second computer device for the second media content frame to be played.
