Customize name alias in recorder
The Alias feature allows you to customize how your name appears in video recording requests sent through integrations like Jira, Intercom, HelpScout, and others. Instead of showing your full name (first name + last name), you can set a personalized alias that will be displayed to customers and colleagues when they receive video recording requests from you.
Examples:
Your full name: "Jennifer Smith"
Your alias: "Jen Smith" or "JS"
What recipients see: "Video request from Jen Smith" instead of "Video request from Jennifer"
✅ You have set an alias in your profile
❌ You haven't set an alias (your first name will be used instead)
✅ The request comes from supported integrations (Jira, Intercom, HelpScout, Zendesk, etc.)
❌ The recording request is anonymous or generic
✅ The request is personalized (not anonymous)
❌ The request comes from unsupported sources
Fallback Behavior
If you don't set an alias, the system automatically falls back to using your first name, ensuring a seamless experience for recipients.
