Video recording

Every test session executed on BrowserStack is recorded, as tests are performed on our remote device. Video recordings show all the steps as a video to retrace the steps that led to the test failure. You can download or view the video logs in full-screen mode from the dashboard.

Video recording is enabled by default. To disable the video recording use the capability as shown below.

video: true

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
HashMap<String, Object> browserstackOptions = new HashMap<String, Object>();
browserstackOptions.put("video", "false");

var capabilities = {
	'bstack:options' : {
		"video" : "false",
	},
}

AppiumOptions capabilities = new AppiumOptions();
Dictionary<string, object> browserstackOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>();
browserstackOptions.Add("video", "false");

$caps = array(
    'bstack:options' => array(
        "video" => "false",
    ),
)

desired_cap = {
	'bstack:options' : {
		"video" : "false",
	},
}

capabilities = {
    'bstack:options' => {
        "video" => "false",
    },
}

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("browserstack.video", "false");

var capabilities = {
	'browserstack.video' : 'false'
}

AppiumOptions capabilities = new AppiumOptions();
capabilities.AddAdditionalCapability("browserstack.video", "false");

$caps = array(
"browserstack.video" => "false"
)

desired_cap = {
"browserstack.video" : "false"
}

caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.new
caps["browserstack.video"] = "false"
