You can get a view of the client browser’s console logs alongside the recording

Console replay alongside a recording

To activate this feature you need to install our code snippet into your webapp or to your website: to do so, just copy our Javascript snippet and paste it before the </body> tag into each page of your web app.

You will find the snippet in your account settings page... As an example, the snippet should look like this:

<!-- Birdie code Snippet -->
<script>(function(){window.addEventListener("load",function(){var t=document.createElement("script");t.type="text/javascript",t.async=!0,t.src="<https://app.birdie.so/widget/embed/xxxxxxxx>",document.body.appendChild(t)});})();</script>

Once installed, no coding is required: if the browser’s console displays warnings, errors, or any information during a recording, it will be saved and you’ll be able to see it alongside the video!

What if my user has more than 1 window opened?

If more than 1 browser tab is opened with your webapp, we will always display the console logs coming from the latest active tab (or window). If the user switch tabs during a recording, the console will also switch to the new focused tab, and it will be notified in the console flow with a “Tab switch” event.

Are there any restrictions?

The console will be recorded only for incoming recordings: you won’t see any console logs for the videos you record yourself with your Birdie account: the end-users don’t get access to the recordings metadata, they don’t get access to the remote console.

A console recording is limited to browsers tabs that are active: by active we mean a page that was loaded or received a click within the last 30 minutes.
