To watch recordings, you can visit the Replay page or click on any data point in an insight. This opens a list of persons and displays a Watch recording button or Recordings tab if available. This is especially useful in funnels, where you can drill down and watch recordings of users who converted or dropped off.
When watching replays, you can:
Change the playback speed, as well as select the option Skip inactivity which skips parts of the recording where the user was inactive on the page.
Open the activity panel to see a list of all the events that happened during the recording. This also lets you see the network waterfall, page performance score, asset breakdown, and more.
Click Inspect DOM to interact with the DOM of the page. It may not be 100% accurate, but should be close enough to help you debug. You can interact with the content below but most things won't work as it is only a snapshot of your app. Use your browser's developer tools (
CMD+Opt+Ion Mac andCtrl+Shift+Ion PC for Chrome) to inspect the content.Add comments by pressing C or clicking the Comment button to share your thoughts with your team. You can also add emojis to the timeline to highlight specific parts.
Enter cinema and fullscreen mode to remove the UI elements and focus on the recording.
How to create saved filters
It's possible to create dynamic list of replays that you're interested in.
To do so:
- Click Show filters.
- Create your filter with options for date, active duration, events, properties, console logs, and more.
- Once done, click Add to "Saved filters".
This will then be accessible to anyone in your project via the Shared filters tab and new replays will automatically be added to it.
How to create a collection
If instead, you want to create a more permanent list of replays to watch later, analyze specific behavior, or share with your team, you can create a collection.
To do so click + Add to collection next to the Share button on a replay, search or create a new collection, and then select it. You can share the collection by going to the collection page, finding that collection, and sharing the link to anyone with access to your PostHog project.
