Engineering teams can attach full video replays automatically to Jira tickets or GitHub issues when an error occurs.
What is your for analytics (PostHog Cloud or Self-Hosted)?
// Ensure PostHog is fully loaded before requesting the session ID posthog.onFeatureFlags(() => const sessionId = posthog.get_session_id(); if (sessionId) // Example: Injecting the replay link into a customer support tool like Intercom window.Intercom('update', 'PostHog Session Link': `https://posthog.comsessionId` ); // Example: Sending the session ID to your backend database via an API call fetch('/api/update-user-session', method: 'POST', headers: 'Content-Type': 'application/json' , body: JSON.stringify( posthog_session_id: sessionId ) ); ); Use code with caution. Best Practices for Portable Replay Management posthog session replay portable
You use the underlying open-source library rrweb directly in your application code.
I can provide targeted code snippets or architectural diagrams to help build your portable infrastructure. Share public link Best Practices for Portable Replay Management You use
private setupEventListeners(): void // Mouse events document.addEventListener('click', this.handleClick); document.addEventListener('mousemove', this.handleMouseMove); document.addEventListener('scroll', this.handleScroll);
useEffect(() => recorderRef.current = new PortableSessionRecorder( userId: options?.userId, storage: 'indexeddb', ); PostHog does not record actual video files like MP4s
To understand portability, you must understand how PostHog records data. PostHog does not record actual video files like MP4s. True video recording would consume too much user bandwidth and server storage. Instead, PostHog uses (record and replay the web).
What are you planning to run this portable setup in (e.g., Docker, an offline desktop app, a local server)?
