What is session replay?

Session replay is a visual tool that reconstructs a user's experience on your website or web app. It captures the DOM structure, user interactions like clicks, scrolls, and inputs, and page changes — allowing you to replay sessions as if you were watching a video. Session replay goes beyond traditional analytics by adding qualitative context to metrics like bounce rates or click-throughs. It helps teams see where users struggle, what catches their attention, and how they move through the product.

Is session replay the same as session recording?

Not exactly. Session recording can refer to basic event tracking, while session replay shows a full visual playback of what the user experienced. OpenReplay offers true session replay with full context.

Is OpenReplay open source?

Yes, OpenReplay is open-source and available on GitHub. You can self-host it, customize it, and have full control over your data.

Can I self-host session replay with OpenReplay?

Yes, OpenReplay was built for self-hosting. It's ideal for teams that need full data control or must meet strict privacy and compliance requirements.

How does OpenReplay protect user privacy?

OpenReplay offers private mode by default, blocking text and DevTools data. You can also define sanitization rules globally or at a field level to avoid capturing sensitive data.

Do I need to tag elements or events manually?

No, OpenReplay automatically captures user interactions, page views, and technical events. You can also send custom events and metadata when needed.

What makes OpenReplay different from other tools?

OpenReplay supports advanced features like iframe capture, canvas/WebGL playback, and DevTools data. It's also open-source and self-hostable — giving you visibility and control no other tool offers.

Who uses session replay?

Engineers, product managers, and support teams use session replay to debug issues, understand user behavior, and resolve complaints faster with full session context.
