FAQs
1. Can I disable “Rewind” for all websites?
Yes. You can disable “Rewind” for all websites from the settings menu anytime you want. Just go to the settings menu and click on the toggle switch to disable it for the entire application and all websites.
2. Where and how is the data stored for the “Replay” feature?
The session data is temporarily stored in the local storage of your browser at first. The existing data gets replaced every 2 minutes with the new data. Once you create a replay session and upload it to your BetterBugs account, it gets stored on our servers in an encrypted format. You can then access and share it using the generated report link.
3. Does “Rewind” support capturing “GIF” animations?
Yes. “Rewind” supports “GIF” capturing in the rewind sessions.
4. Does “Rewind” support capturing iFrames and Canvas HTML elements?
No. Our goal is to provide a seamless user experience without any jitters or lags. Since iFrames and Canvas are heavy HTML elements, they are not captured in the “Rewind” session. If there are such elements in the replay being captured, it will get blacked out from the video footage.
5. Is the video playing inside the browser captured with “Rewind”?
No. The video being played in the capture will be blacked out. For example, if you try to use “Rewind” with YouTube, the videos will not get captured and appear as a black box.
