The session player: timeline and event markers

1 min read

Requires Opti-Behavior Pro. Session Recordings are a Pro module. View pricing or start the 6-month free trial.

The session player replays a recording and marks meaningful moments on the timeline so you can jump straight to friction. This article explains the player layout and the event markers.

Requirements #

  • Plan: Opti-Behavior Pro
  • A recorded session to open

Opening the player #

In Opti-Behavior → Recordings, click Play on any row.

Session player modal showing the replay area, metadata bar, playback controls and the session timeline panel with event markers

The metadata bar #

Above the replay you see session context: device, browser, OS, country, entry and exit page, duration, page count, and a copy-link control to share the session.

Playback controls #

  • Play / Pause / Restart
  • Progress bar — click any point to seek
  • Skip inactivity — fast-forwards idle gaps

Event markers on the timeline #

The timeline is dotted with markers so you can jump to the moments that matter. The player recognises these interaction types:

  • Click and Double Click
  • Scroll
  • Input / focus (field interaction, values masked)
  • Form submit
  • Mouse movement
  • Page navigation
  • JavaScript error and Console warning
  • Dead click and Rage click (friction)
  • Tab visibility change

Click a marker to jump to that instant. Error and friction markers are the fastest route to a UX problem — they also link into Errors & Performance.

Expected result #

You can replay a session, skip idle time, and jump directly to clicks, errors, or rage clicks.

FAQ #

Why is a form field blank in the replay? #

Field values are masked for privacy; the player shows that a field was used, not what was typed.
