New to the world of working remotely? Minimize your chances of embarrassing yourself in front of your colleagues with a screen-share mishap. A few precautions can help you separate your personal from your work life.

远程工作世界新手？ 通过屏幕共享事故将您在同事面前尴尬的机会降到最低。 一些预防措施可以帮助您将个人与工作生活区分开。

创建一个仅用于工作的用户帐户 (Create a User Account Just for Work)

In the wake of the global coronavirus, many people are working from home for the first time. If you’re one of them, you may have to use your home computer.

在全球冠状病毒感染之后，许多人第一次在家工作。 如果您是其中之一，则可能必须使用家用计算机。

On your home computer, you probably don’t give a second thought to the desktop background, which apps you run all the time, or the notifications you receive.

在家用计算机上，您可能不必再考虑桌面背景，始终运行哪些应用程序或收到的通知。

However, the easiest way to maintain your privacy and switch to “work mode” on a personal computer is to create a new user account you can use solely for work. The steps to do this differ depending on which operating system your computer is running.

但是，维护您的隐私并在个人计算机上切换到“工作模式”的最简单方法是创建一个仅可用于工作的新用户帐户。 具体步骤取决于计算机运行的操作系统。

Follow these steps to create a new user account on Windows 10:

请按照以下步骤在Windows 10上创建新的用户帐户：

1. Press Windows+I to open the “Settings” app.按Windows + I打开“设置”应用程序。
2. Click “Accounts”, and then select “Family and Other People” from the list.单击“帐户”，然后从列表中选择“家庭和其他人”。

3. Click “Add Someone Else to This PC”, and then follow the setup procedure.

   单击“将其他人添加到此PC”，然后按照设置步骤进行操作 。

Follow these steps to create a new user account on macOS:

请按照以下步骤在macOS上创建新的用户帐户：

1. Launch “System Preferences” from the dock or search for it with Spotlight.

   从扩展坞启动“系统偏好设置”，或使用Spotlight搜索它 。

2. Click “Users and Groups”, click the Lock icon in the bottom-left corner, then type your Admin password.单击“用户和组”，单击左下角的“锁定”图标，然后键入您的管理员密码。
3. Click the plus sign (+) in the bottom-left corner and follow the setup procedure.单击左下角的加号(+)，然后按照设置过程进行操作。

When your new account is set up, you can log out or switch accounts as you normally would. When you first sign in, you have to authorize any email accounts, Slack logins, or other services. Resist the urge to add any personal accounts.

设置新帐户后，您可以照常注销或切换帐户。 首次登录时，您必须授权任何电子邮件帐户，Slack登录名或其他服务。 抵制添加任何个人帐户的冲动。

By doing this, you ensure no personal information will be disclosed during a video call. You also remove personal distractions, such as messages from friends and Twitter notifications, which will help you get more work done. Take regular breaks and switch to your personal account when necessary.

这样，您可以确保在视频通话期间不会泄露任何个人信息。 您还可以消除个人干扰，例如来自朋友的消息和Twitter通知，这将帮助您完成更多工作。 请定期休息，并在必要时切换到您的个人帐户。

Don’t want to create an entirely new account? You can still avoid embarrassment by following a few simple tips.

不想创建一个全新的帐户？ 您仍然可以通过遵循一些简单的技巧来避免尴尬。

仅共享特定的应用程序窗口 (Share Only Specific Application Windows)

Video conferencing allows you to speak face-to-face with colleagues and, in most cases, share your screen. This is useful when someone is giving a presentation, discussing figures on a spreadsheet, or simply collating ideas on a whiteboard or mind map.

视频会议使您可以与同事面对面交谈，并且在大多数情况下，可以共享屏幕。 当有人进行演示，在电子表格上讨论数字或仅在白板或思维导图上整理想法时，此功能很有用。

Most video conferencing apps allow you to share your entire desktop or an individual window. While it might be tempting to share your desktop for ease, sharing only the window your colleagues need to see is a better idea.

大多数视频会议应用程序允许您共享整个桌面或单个窗口。 轻松共享桌面可能很诱人，但最好只共享同事需要查看的窗口。

How you do this depends on which video conferencing service you’re using. Obviously, you’ll want to avoid anything that resembles “Share Desktop” in favor of something like “Share Window,” instead. Some apps (like Google Hangouts Meet) will prompt you to choose if you want to share your window or whole screen.

如何执行此操作取决于您使用的视频会议服务 。 显然，您应该避免使用类似于“ Share Desktop”的任何东西，而应使用“ Share Window”之类的东西。 某些应用(例如Google Hangouts Meet )会提示您选择是否要共享窗口或整个屏幕。

Whatever you use to stay in contact with your coworkers, experiment with it so you can master its screen-sharing abilities before you need to use them.

无论您使用什么与同事保持联系，都可以尝试一下，以便在需要使用它们之前可以掌握其屏幕共享功能。

使用无聊的壁纸 (Use a Boring Wallpaper)

Would you want your Adventure Time wallpaper to show up in the middle of a presentation or meeting? While some of you may have a boss who is “totally cool like that,” others probably don’t.

您想让您的Adventure Time壁纸出现在演示或会议的中间吗？ 你们中有些人可能拥有“完全像那样酷”的老板，而其他人则可能没有。

If you need to maintain an air of professionalism while you use a screen-sharing app, consider switching to a boring wallpaper. It’s up to you, but think about how your clients, colleagues, or boss might respond if they saw your current wallpaper.

如果您在使用屏幕共享应用时需要保持专业水准，请考虑切换到无聊的墙纸。 这取决于您，但是请考虑一下您的客户，同事或老板在看到您当前的墙纸后可能会如何回应。

You can just set a solid color, or use any of the stock macOS or Windows wallpapers. It’s easy to search for cool wallpapers on Google, too.

您可以设置纯色，也可以使用任何现有的macOS或Windows壁纸。 同样， 在Google上搜索精美的壁纸也很容易。

清理浏览器 (Clean Up Your Browser)

Your browser can give away a lot of personal information. Most of us usually have multiple tabs open simultaneously. There’s also usually a bookmarks bar for quick navigation and a few extensions on top.

您的浏览器会泄露很多个人信息。 我们大多数人通常会同时打开多个标签。 通常也有一个书签栏，用于快速导航，顶部还有一些扩展。

The easiest way to separate your work browsing sessions from personal ones is to use separate browsers. The most common keyboard shortcuts work across most browsers, so feel free to take your pick and use Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or something else.

将工作浏览会话与个人浏览会话分开的最简单方法是使用单独的浏览器。 最常见的键盘快捷键适用于大多数浏览器 ，因此请随意选择并使用Chrome，Firefox，Safari，Edge或其他工具。

On Chrome and Firefox, you can use alternate profiles. All your personal tabs will be safe under one profile, while you work away in the other. However, because you can have both open simultaneously, make sure you always close your personal profile to avoid any mishaps.

在Chrome和Firefox上 ，您可以使用备用配置文件。 在一个配置文件下，所有个人标签都将是安全的，而在另一个配置文件下，则将所有个人标签都保留下来。 但是，由于可以同时打开两个文件，因此请确保始终关闭个人资料，以免发生任何意外。

If that all sounds like too much, you can just prune your personal tabs. You can use a browser session extension (like Session Buddy for Chrome) to save everything before you close it.

如果听起来太过分，您可以修剪个人标签。 您可以使用浏览器会话扩展程序(例如Session Buddy for Chrome )保存所有内容，然后再关闭它。

If you’re going to use your personal browser for work, you may also have some revealing bookmarks on display in the bookmarks bar. To hide your bookmarks on most browsers, click “View”, and then toggle “Hide Favorites” or “Hide Bookmarks Bar” (the name of the setting depends on the browser).

如果您打算使用个人浏览器进行工作，则书签栏中可能还会显示一些显示书签。 要在大多数浏览器中隐藏书签，请单击“查看”，然后切换“隐藏收藏夹”或“隐藏书签栏”(设置的名称取决于浏览器)。

You can also clear your browser history if you’re concerned about autocomplete.

如果您担心自动完成功能，也可以清除浏览器历史记录 。

禁用不必要的通知 (Disable Unnecessary Notifications)

Even if you only share a single window (especially if it occupies the entire screen), you may fall victim to an embarrassing pop-up notification. The last thing you want your coworkers to see is a sweary message from a friend or an “overshare” from your spouse.

即使您仅共享一个窗口(尤其是它占据了整个屏幕)，您也可能会成为令人尴尬的弹出通知的受害者。 您希望同事看到的最后一件事是朋友发的脏话或配偶的“过度分享”。

To solve this, you can mute all notifications—just always remember to do it before your conference call. Both macOS and Windows 10 have an option for this.

要解决此问题，您可以使所有通知静音-请务必记住在电话会议之前进行通知。 macOS和Windows 10都为此提供了一个选项。

Follow these steps to mute notifications on macOS:

请按照以下步骤在macOS上使通知静音：

1. Swipe right on the trackpad with two fingers or click the icon in the top-right corner of the screen to open “Notification Center” (or “Today”).用两根手指在触控板上向右滑动，或单击屏幕右上角的图标以打开“通知中心”(或“今天”)。
2. Scroll up and toggle-On the “Do Not Disturb” option.向上滚动并启用“请勿打扰”选项。

Follow these steps to mute notifications on Windows 10:

请按照以下步骤在Windows 10上使通知静音：

1. Press Windows+A or click on the Action Center icon near the bottom-right of the screen to open the “Action Center”.按Windows + A或单击屏幕右下角附近的“操作中心”图标以打开“操作中心”。
2. Click “Quiet Hours” or “Focus Assist” to mute notifications.单击“安静时间”或“焦点协助”以静音通知。

You can also mute notifications per app if that’s more convenient. Just don’t forget to turn them back on later if you need them. In Windows, you can navigate to System > Notifications and Actions to do this; on a Mac, head to System Preferences > Notifications.

如果方便的话，您还可以按应用静音通知。 只是如果您需要它们，别忘了稍后将其重新打开。 在Windows中 ，您可以导航至“系统”>“通知和操作”以执行此操作。 在Mac上 ，请转到“系统偏好设置”>“通知”。

隐藏不必要的应用 (Hide Unnecessary Apps)

You might leave Steam running so you can update your games or browse the catalog during any downtime. However, your boss might not be so understanding when he sees that icon bouncing around the dock or taskbar during working hours.

您可能会保持Steam的运行状态，以便可以在任何停机时间更新游戏或浏览目录。 但是，当您的老板在工作时间内看到该图标在扩展坞或任务栏周围弹跳时，可能会不太了解。

Before you start work (or, at least, before you start a video call or screen-sharing session), make sure you quit or hide any unnecessary apps.

在开始工作之前(或至少在开始视频通话或屏幕共享会话之前)，请确保退出或隐藏所有不必要的应用程序。

The following are some apps you might want to hide during working hours:

以下是您可能要在工作时间内隐藏的一些应用程序：

• Games stores: Steam, Epic Game Store, GOG Galaxy, EA Origin, Uplay, Xbox (Windows 10), etc.

  游戏商店： Steam，Epic Game Store，GOG Galaxy，EA Origin，Uplay，Xbox(Windows 10)等

• Streaming services: Netflix, Hulu, HBO GO/NOW, etc.

  流媒体服务： Netflix，Hulu，HBO GO / NOW等。

• File-sharing apps: Transmission, uTorrent, Vuze, Deluge, qBittorrent, etc.

  文件共享应用程序：传输，uTorrent，Vuze，Deluge，qBittorrent等。

• Personal accounts: Email apps, journals, private notes, photos, etc.

  个人帐户：电子邮件应用程序，日记，私人笔记，照片等。

In short, it’s a good idea to hide anything you shouldn’t be doing while you’re supposed to be working!

简而言之，最好隐藏应该工作的所有不想要的东西！

登出消息服务 (Sign Out of Messaging Services)

Signing out of messaging services may be easier than constantly having to disable or enable notifications. You may also find this helps you concentrate more on your work. Even if you mute notifications, you can still waste hours messaging people—that’s a lot harder to do if you have to sign in first.

与经常需要禁用或启用通知相比，注销消息服务可能更容易。 您可能还会发现这有助于您将更多的精力集中在工作上。 即使您将通知静音，您仍然可以浪费时间向别人发送消息-如果您必须先登录，那么这样做会困难得多。

The two most common apps are Messages for Mac and Hangouts for Android on Mac or Windows. Each of these apps can mirror text messages from your mobile device, regardless of whether they’re work or personal contacts. If you’d rather leave the text messages on your phone, just sign out of the program on your computer.

两个最常见的应用是Mac上的Messages和Mac或Windows上的Android环聊。 这些应用程序中的每一个都可以从您的移动设备镜像文本消息，而不管它们是工作还是个人联系人。 如果您希望将短信留在手机上，只需退出计算机上的程序即可。

Make sure you keep any apps that would be vital for work, though, like Slack, Skype, or WhatsApp. If you create a separate work account on your computer, this is easier because you won’t sign in to any nonessential messaging clients in the first place!

但是，请确保保留所有对工作至关重要的应用程序，例如Slack，Skype或WhatsApp。 如果您在计算机上创建一个单独的工作帐户，这将更容易，因为您首先不会登录任何不必要的邮件客户端！

在移动设备上保留个人资料 (Leave Personal Stuff on Your Mobile Device)

Because your mobile device probably rarely leaves your side, and you can charge it while you work, why not defer all personal things to your phone or iPad? That’s assuming you won’t be screen sharing anything from them, of course.

因为您的移动设备可能很少会离开您的身边，并且您可以在工作时为它充电，所以为什么不将所有私人物品交给您的手机或iPad呢？ 当然，这是假设您不会与他们共享任何屏幕。

Instead of opening a new tab to look up the lyrics to that song that’s playing, just look it up on your phone. Don’t launch Reminders on your Mac to add spaghetti to your shopping list; let Siri handle it on your iPhone. Wondering what the weather will be like for that upcoming camping trip? “Okay Google, what’s the weather like in the Blue Mountains next week?” is probably faster anyway. Private message and chat on your phone instead of your computer, too.

无需打开新标签来查看正在播放的歌曲的歌词，只需在手机上查找即可。 不要在Mac上启动“提醒”功能，以将意大利面添加到购物清单中； 让Siri在您的iPhone上处理它。 想知道即将到来的露营之旅的天气如何吗？ “好吧Google，下周蓝山山脉的天气如何？” 无论如何可能更快。 私人消息和聊天也可以在手机上而不是计算机上进行。

If you haven’t yet embarrassed yourself in front of 50 colleagues on a video call, consider yourself lucky. Most remote workers have had this awkward experience before. If you follow these tips, though, they can help you at least maintain a veneer of professionalism!

如果您还没有在视频通话中让50名同事感到尴尬，请认为自己很幸运。 大多数远程工作者以前都曾有过这种尴尬的经历。 但是，如果您遵循这些提示，它们至少可以帮助您保持专业水平！
