Bug report mode records your video together with what a developer needs: console messages, network requests, your clicks and your device. They appear in a Logs tab, lined up with the video.

Record a bug report

  1. Open the page with the problem, then open the Vidler extension.
  2. Just above Start recording, click the recording type (it shows Video) and choose Bug report.
  3. The first time, Chrome asks for access to sites. Allow it so the logs follow you to other pages. If you don't, the logs stop when you leave the page you started on.
  4. Click Start recording, show the problem and talk it through.
  5. Click Stop and save.

Logs come only from the tab where you opened the popup. Anything from just before you started, such as the page loading, is marked Before recording started.

Deep capture

Turn on Deep capture to record every request and browser errors through Chrome's debugger. Chrome asks for permission and shows a debugging bar while you record, which can appear in window and screen recordings.

Read the logs

Open the video and select the Logs tab. If you own the video, it's the bug icon, with a red dot when there are errors.

  • Filter with All, Errors, Console, Network and Actions, or use Search logs.
  • Use the arrows next to the search box to jump to the previous or next error.
  • Select a row to jump to 2 seconds before it in the video.
  • Open the environment line at the top for the browser, operating system, page and more, then Copy environment.

Owners and editors can open Log settings (the more menu) to choose Who can see these logs, Download logs (.json) or Delete logs. By default, people in your workspace can see them.
