12.5 SCREENING

12.5.1 The players of the serving team must not prevent their opponent, through individual or collective screening, from seeing the service hit and the flight path of the ball.

12.5.2 A player or a group of players of the serving team make(s) a screen by waving arms, jumping or moving sideways during the execution of the service, or by standing grouped, in order that both the service hit and the flight path of the ball are hidden until the ball reaches the vertical plane of the net. Should either be visible to the receiving team this is not a screen.

"from seeing the service hit and the flight path of the ball"

The wording of this rule makes it clear that a team must restrict the view of the service hit AND at the flight path of the ball. If one or more players are moving or irritating the opponent by waving their arms or jumping at the moment of the service hit, a screen should be called.
