Rewind

Get the last two minutes of all your browser activities as a video rewind session to auto-capture issues that just happened.

What is “Rewind”?

Rewind enables you to capture any issues or bugs that have just happened. You can replay your last two-minute activity as a rewind session, on the website or domain for which the BetterBugs “Rewind” is enabled.

The “Rewind” feature enabled on BetterBugs is like having a friend who keeps watching over your shoulder. You can refer your friend whenever you need help replaying the last two minutes of your activity.

How does the “Rewind” feature work?

In a typical scenario while working with software, you spot a bug, recreate it, and then take a screenshot or record a video to document it and share it to get it fixed.

Once you enable the “Rewind” feature on any website, you don’t have to worry about recording or capturing bugs manually when you spot them. With one click, you can get the last two minutes of all the activities, and you can watch the rewind session without the hassles of recreating it and then recording or documenting it before sending it to engineers for debugging.

Just as with taking a screenshot or recording a video, all the technical details and logs from the devtools also get automatically captured along with the rewind video session. You can add the details for the issue and upload it as a comprehensive bug report to your BetterBugs account. Then, you can instantly share it whenever and wherever you need to with the generated report link.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How is “Rewind” different from Screen Recording?

Screen recording requires you to start and stop it manually, but “Rewind” only needs to be enabled once and gives you the last 2 minutes of activity with a single click. It is especially useful when you encounter a bug while browsing and want to report it right away. With screen recording, you can also capture audio, but not with “Rewind”.

Is “Rewind” auto-enabled whenever I visit a new website?

No. You need to enable “Rewind” manually from the extension if you visit any new website and want to use it with that specific site.

Are there any performance issues with my Chrome browser when I use “Rewind”?

There are safeguards in place to make sure that there are no performance issues when you use the “Rewind” feature on a majority of websites. However, if you enable it for websites with complex UI elements or memory-intensive animations, your browser performance may be slightly affected.
