Abstract: Techniques for stream sniping prevention are disclosed herein. A video game player may provide captured video of the video game for transmission to viewers. In some examples, an obfuscation component may detect, within the captured video, private game information regarding the player, for example using one or more non-visual detection techniques. The private game information may then be obfuscated in the video that is provided to the viewers, while still allowing the private game information to be displayed to the player. Also, in some examples, a user may issue a request associated with a video game, such as a request to join a video game, game server, and/or match. It may then be determined whether the user is currently receiving video of the video game from the player. If so, then the user may be blocked from joining the same video game, game server, and/or match as the player.
