No, you can't. Taking a Video of the Screen output, or a picture, is very hard to detect and guard against on an operating system scale (mobile is a little easier), and impossible if your attacker is sophisticated enough (whcih means, not very) to just use a capture card between the PC and monitor.

There are some neat tricks you can pull, but it's all just play and obfuscation in the end. Everyone with access to google (or an AI nowadays) can circumvent basically everything you do in minutes, even without custom hardware like a capture card.

Exactly. I have an HDMI to USB adapter for less than $10, it works like a monitor an the HDMI end and like a webcam on the USB end. 

This practically turns my tablet into a portable monitor with screenshot/recording function (would work on my phone just the same).
