What is Ivideon Server’s hidden mode? How do I enable it?

Last update: 14.09.2024

Ivideon Server has a hidden mode which helps conceal the icon of the app in the system tray, as well as the main window when it starts and the system notifications about the server status. This feature is necessary if you need to hide the fact that you are conducting surveillance, e.g., you do not want other users of your PC to know that this computer is running as a video server.

To enable the hidden mode:


  • Stop Ivideon Server by clicking on the Stop button.

  • Click on the Settings button on the toolbar of the main window of the program.

  • In the next window, in the General tab at the bottom of the window, put a checkmark next to the Remove the icon from the notification area option and click OK:
