To watch recordings, you can visit the Replay page. When watching replays, you can change the playback speed, as well as select the option 'skip inactivity' - this skips parts of the recording where the user was inactive on the page.

You can also watch recordings by clicking on any data point in an insight. This opens a list of persons and displays a "watch recording" button if available. This is especially useful in funnels, where you can drill down and watch recordings of users who converted or dropped off.

You can also click into the "Recordings" tab for a person to view all their recordings.

  • Recording time and duration.
  • Event and action filters.
  • Person and cohort filters. These require capturing identified events.
  • Console log level filters: Log, warn, and error.
