PulseTab is free because it is small and private: your screen goes straight from your browser to the person you chose, and nothing is recorded. That only keeps working while nobody uses it to hurt someone. Here is the full list of what we never allow.
The short version: no illegal content, no spying, no other people's data, no piracy, no harassment, no attacks on the service. If you are unsure whether something is allowed, it probably is not.
Zero tolerance
These are not gray areas. A session involving any of them is terminated and reported, without warning and without appeal.
Any content that sexualises, exploits, or endangers a child
This includes any screen, file, camera view, or link involving the sexual abuse of a minor. We report it to NCMEC and to law enforcement every time, and we keep the account details of the person who shared it.
Illegal activity of any kind
Fraud, theft, money laundering, drug or weapon trafficking, terrorism, gambling operations, or threats and incitement to violence. If the activity is a crime, it does not happen here.
Spying on someone
Sharing a person's device, camera, or surroundings without their knowledge. That covers partners, family members, colleagues, employees, customers, and strangers alike.
Sharing another person's private data
Identity documents, payment card numbers, passwords and account logins, medical records, employment files, or any personal information you are not authorised to disclose.
Ownership
Being able to open a file is not the same as being allowed to broadcast it. Share only what you created, what you licence, or what the rights holder has clearly permitted.
Pirated films, series, sport, and music
Screening a paid stream, a leaked copy, or a live sports feed to an audience that has not paid for it is redistribution without a licence.
Paid courses, ebooks, and software licences
Sharing access to material covered by a subscription, a seat licence, or a classroom licence you are not part of.
Hiding where content came from
Cropping, covering, or editing out watermarks, provider names, and attribution so stolen material looks original.
Anything under an active takedown
Once a rights holder has asked us to stop a share, replaying it under a new session code is treated as a deliberate breach.
Consent
A shared screen usually contains more than you intended. Get consent before anyone else's business ends up in the frame.
Someone else's inbox, files, or calendar
Their messages, contacts, notes, photos, and documents belong to them, even when your browser is signed in on the same machine.
Recording or republishing a session
Screen recording, photographing, or re-broadcasting a share requires the agreement of everyone appearing in it.
Locations and identifying details
Home addresses, workplaces, commuting routes, and live camera views that reveal where a specific person is.
Confidential work material
Client data, unreleased products, internal documents, and anything covered by a contract or a professional duty of confidentiality.
People
A live share reaches people quickly. It is never a tool to pressure, humiliate, or trick them.
Targeted harassment and hate
Bullying, slurs, or abusive campaigns aimed at an identifiable person, or hostility directed at a group because of who they are.
Doxxing
Publishing private details about someone so that other people can contact, follow, or intimidate them.
Impersonation
Presenting yourself as a real person, company, or public body you are not, including fake support and fake verification.
Scams and manipulation
Romance, investment, tech-support, and giveaway fraud, or any share designed to pressure someone into paying or handing over access.
The service
Session codes are the only lock on a share. Anything that weakens that lock puts real people at risk.
Walking into someone else's session
Guessing, brute-forcing, harvesting, or scraping session codes, and sharing them publicly so strangers can drop in.
Intercepting or breaking a connection
Eavesdropping on a peer-to-peer stream, tampering with signalling, or probing the service for ways to access traffic that is not yours.
Malware and phishing
Using a shared screen to deliver malicious files, fake sign-in pages, or links to infrastructure built to steal credentials.
Abusing capacity or reselling access
Automated flooding, scripted session creation, and reselling or white-labelling PulseTab as your own paid product.
Enforcement
Screen content travels directly between browsers and is never stored, so there is no session for us to watch, search, or replay. That privacy is the point, and it means moderation depends on people telling us what they saw.
We end the live session, block the session code and the device or network behind it, and refuse further service. Where the law requires it, we hand what we have to the authorities.
Your browser shows a stop control while you are sharing, viewers only ever have the link you give them, and closing the tab ends everything immediately. Use all three.
Send the session link or code, what happened, and roughly when. Anything involving a child in danger goes to the authorities straight away, so report it and do not wait for a reply here.
We cannot watch a share, so a short description of what you saw is worth more than a screenshot of a landing page.
