Session replay overview

What session replay captures and how privacy is protected.

Session replay reconstructs a visitor's session — page content, mouse movement, clicks, scrolling, form interactions, navigation and errors — so you can watch what actually happened, like a video, without ever recording the visitor's screen directly.

What's captured

  • DOM changes, scrolling and mouse movement.
  • Clicks and form interactions (with values masked).
  • Navigation between pages.
  • Network requests (URL, method, status, duration).
  • Console output and JavaScript errors.

Privacy by default

  • All input values are masked — Spectry never records what people type.
  • PII patterns in visible text are masked automatically.
  • Use data-spectry-block to exclude an element entirely and data-spectry-mask to mask specific content. See masking & data attributes.

Replay requires the replay consent category.
