Do not assume Streamer Mode hides every real-world identifier in Scam With Your Friends. The confirmed current browser protections are a privacy confirmation before opening or restoring the browser, plus closure of its browser session when you leave your computer.
These changes address specific browser behavior. They do not establish a complete list of information hidden by Streamer Mode, and they are not a guarantee that every page opened in the in-game browser is safe to broadcast.
Understand the confirmed browser changes
Hotfix 2 added a privacy confirmation before the in-game browser is opened or restored. It also changed the workstation behavior so that leaving your computer closes its browser session. Checks for missing browser installation files were added as a separate reliability measure.
| Confirmed behavior | What it establishes | What it does not establish |
|---|---|---|
| Privacy confirmation before opening or restoring the browser | You receive a checkpoint before that browser action | Every possible identifier is automatically hidden |
| Leaving your computer closes its browser session | The session is closed on leaving the workstation | Your stream recording or an already captured image is erased |
| Checks for missing browser installation files | The game checks for a browser installation problem | The privacy of any particular external page |
The installation check belongs to browser reliability. It should not be described as an extra anonymization feature or used as evidence that a browser page cannot reveal personal information.
This shows the in-game browser, not the updated privacy confirmation or a guarantee that personal information is hidden.
Use the confirmation as a checkpoint
Before opening or restoring the browser during a broadcast, pause at the privacy confirmation and consider what you are about to show. Read its actual wording in the current build; no exact text or complete set of choices is reproduced here.
If you do not know what a page will display, check it outside the live audience's view first. This is a broadcasting precaution, not a claim that the game provides a special preview mode. Use the controls already available in your recording or streaming setup to decide what the audience can see.
A browser warning is useful only if you act on it before exposing the page. It cannot undo information that has already appeared in a broadcast, screenshot, or recording. Closing a browser session and removing footage from your audience are different actions.
Check what your audience actually sees
Look at the captured output, rather than assuming that a setting's name describes every visible surface. In-game dialogue, desktop applications, browser pages, platform overlays, and your recording software can show different information.
Before starting a public stream, inspect the scene you intend to broadcast and check whether any account information, notifications, or unrelated windows are included. Repeat that check when changing the capture source or opening a browser page whose content you have not inspected.
This is general capture hygiene. It does not establish that the game exposes any particular account field, nor that a particular capture mode is a verified cure for every privacy concern.
Treat Streamer Mode's scope as limited evidence
The available material does not provide a complete, verified contract for what Streamer Mode hides. There is no supported basis here to promise that it masks every location reference, account name, browser result, or other personal identifier.
Use the protections that are actually documented, then check the content you intend to share. If you cannot confirm a page is appropriate to broadcast, keep it out of the live capture until you can inspect it.
Leave the workstation with the browser behavior in mind
The browser session now closes when you leave your computer. Do not rely on an older recording that shows a different open-browser state persisting through a workstation exit.
Returning to the browser can involve the opening or restoring confirmation. Read that checkpoint again rather than treating an earlier decision as permission to expose whatever appears next. A changed page or restored session may present different content from the page you last remember seeing.
Keep unrelated streamer-mode advice separate
Search results may discuss Streamer Mode in Palia, Dead by Daylight, or other games. Their rules for hiding names, chats, friends, or player status do not establish how Scam With Your Friends behaves.
There is also no verified reason to treat another game's “hide name” setting as the solution to this game's browser privacy. Use the current game's actual options and the confirmed browser changes, and describe any remaining problem by the visible behavior instead of guessing which setting must have failed.
If you report a privacy issue, explain the action that opened the browser, what the confirmation did, and what was visible afterward. Avoid reposting sensitive material publicly as proof. A precise description can preserve the issue without broadcasting the information a second time.
