Incognito session

Run the Screendesk extension in private browsing (Incognito / Private / In Private).

Use Screendesk in private browsing when you need a clean session.

Private browsing is useful for testing without existing cookies or cache.

To use the extension in private windows, you must allow it in your browser settings.

What works in private browsing

You can capture the same types of reports as normal, including:

• Screenshots and annotations
• Screen recordings
• Instant Replay
• Console logs, network requests, and environment details (browser, OS, viewport)

Private browsing does not prevent data capture. It only isolates your browsing session.

FAQ
