How does Session Replay Work?

When a user engages with the website by performing actions like navigating to different pages or interacting with links and buttons, these interactions are meticulously recorded.

When finished, click on the Feedback button.

Users can review the recorded session alongside the captured images or videos. In instances where users haven't taken screenshots or videos, only the recorded session will be visible.

Following this, users submit their feedback, including the recorded session.

Watching Session Replay

Each feedback that includes the session replay shows the HTML file of the session replay. You can download and open the HTML file to see the captured sessions.

Note: The user submitting the feedback has the option to delete the session replay file. If the file is deleted, the session replay won't be visible in the issue.
