I have folders and files on the desktop, I would like to make sure that when I take a screenshot or video recording of a program, the folders and files I have on the desktop are not seen.

Is there any command on the terminal that allows me to do this?

I need to hide everything only when I do the screen or the recording, and then return everything as before.

How can I do?

CodePudding user response：

defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop false && killall Finder

will hide all Files and Mounts, with

defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop true && killall Finder

you can display them.

You have to invoke the commands from terminal Tested wit Monterey 12.3
