Playback history
You can see who has watched a given session replay by clicking the watched count displayed on the player page. This feature allows you to check whether someone you’d like to share the recording with has already watched it.
The history includes only playbacks that occurred in the player page or in an embedded player, like in a Notebook or side panel. Included playbacks also generate an Audit Trail event. Thumbnail previews are not included in history.
To view your own playback history, check out the My Watch History playlist.
Playlists
You can create a playlist of Session Replays to organize them by any patterns you notice. Learn more about Session Replay Playlists.
