Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. N/A

Describe the solution you'd like

Simply put An option to Blackout Client Monitors. Examples: https://community.teamviewer.com/English/kb/articles/50966-teamviewer-black-screen

Additional context If I'm not mistaken, this is done with a Virtual Display driver. I looked into it and can't seem to wrap my head around it fully yet. If I end up having a eureka moment, ill add it. Or if anyone can point me in the right direction

Iv added a Connection Banner. still need to finish some things up before I publish. Also not sure if it's implemented correctly. However, it gets the job done. so ¯_(ツ)_/¯ devenv_qE9nwflMwO

I'd be interested to know why anyone should ever allow their screen to be blanked out with a remote user connected? Seems nefarious at best. Transparency in support is paramount to me. I would never allow someone to connect, and would immediately disconnect them if they blanked my screen at any point. Maybe I'm just missing a real use case for this.

We have people that work from home on sensitive information. Being as they don't know if anyone is in their office it's just a feature that is nice to have. I'm using the system as an IT support but I give access to some employees that work from home or are mobile at times.

I'd also appreciate this feature. Is that in the pipeline?
