Instant Replay
Capture what just happened with a 2‑minute session replay and full diagnostics.
Save recent activity on an enabled website without repeating the steps.
Instant Replay keeps a rolling buffer of about two minutes of page activity. It reconstructs the page from changes and interactions, rather than recording a video of your screen.
Enable a website
Instant Replay is off for websites until you enable them.
Open the Screendesk extension on the website and choose Enable on this site, or add its domain to Always Enabled Sites in Settings → Manage Websites.
A blocked site stays disabled even if it also appears in Always Enabled Sites. See Website management.
Save a replay
Enable the website before the activity you want to capture.
Use the page normally.
Open Screendesk and choose Instant Replay.
Review the replay, adjust the trim range if needed, and add details.
Choose Upload to create a shareable workspace link, or Close to keep a local draft.
Only activity collected after enabling the website is available. If the buffer is empty, wait while using the page and try again.
What it does and does not capture
Instant Replay includes supported page content and changes. It does not record webcam video, microphone audio, desktop applications, canvas content, or cross-origin iframe content.
Use Screen recording when you need those visual surfaces or narration.
Form input values are masked in the replay. Logs, network requests, screenshots, and screen-recording pixels need a separate privacy review. See Your data & Instant Replay.
