Any free way to get a completely black display instantly?
I do a lot of video calls and screen sharing for work. Sometimes I need to quickly hide everything on my monitor (no icons, no taskbar, just pure black) without closing all apps or turning the screen off. Any simple trick?

I’ve run into this during presentations too! A quick trick is to use a dedicated "Black Screen" app from the Microsoft Store—most have a customizable hotkey (like Ctrl+Alt+F10) that instantly blacks out all monitors without messing with your open windows.
If you ever need to clean up those recorded calls later, a simple video trimmer is great for cutting out those awkward "can you see my screen?" moments before sharing the file.
This online tool is super handy for quickly slicing segments out of your screen recordings without needing to install heavy software.
