## Overview{% #overview %}

As a frontend engineer, an essential and often time-consuming part of the debugging process is reproducing bugs. But it can be difficult to do so without a clear understanding of the actions a user took before your application throws an error.

Error Tracking Replay Snippets allows you to view a pixel-perfect recreation of a user's journey 15 seconds before and after an error occurred so you can reproduce bugs, save time, and eliminate any guesswork.

## Setup{% #setup %}

1. If you have not set up Datadog Frontend Error Tracking, follow the [in-app setup instructions](https://app.datadoghq.com/error-tracking/settings/setup/client) or see the setup documentation for [browser](https://docs.datadoghq.com/error_tracking/frontend/browser#setup) and [mobile](https://docs.datadoghq.com/error_tracking/frontend/mobile).

1. During SDK initialization, configure your application's replay sample rate.

   {% tab title="Browser" %}
Set the `sessionReplaySampleRate` between 1 and 100.

   ```javascript
   import { datadogRum } from '@datadog/browser-rum';
   
   datadogRum.init({
      applicationId: '<APP_ID>',
      clientToken: '<CLIENT_TOKEN>',
      service: '<SERVICE>',
      env: '<ENV_NAME>',
      sessionReplaySampleRate: 20,
      trackResources: true,
      trackUserInteractions: true,
   });
   ```

## Replay errors{% #replay-errors %}

After reviewing key information about the error, such as the error message and stack trace, you can immediately pivot directly from the issue summary to a live reproduction of the most recent session that experienced the error. Scroll down below the stack trace and click on the preview of the replay to see a users actions before the error occurred.
