Limitations

Screen recording isn't supported on mobile devices natively. Learn more
When taking a Live Website Test on desktop, the camera is not shown. When taking that test on a mobile device, a static/frozen image of the camera is shown once the test begins.
You can use an App Test in conjunction with the Maze Participate mobile app to record on a mobile device.
If your study includes a live website test and has Clips with screen recording enabled, participants will be asked to share their entire screen, so that the recording can continue once they open the task on the website. Participants won't be able to continue if they only share the browser tab or window. Due to technical constraints, this check is only performed on Chrome and Safari. If testers use a different browser, such as Firefox, they won't be warned about sharing the entire screen, which may result in the website test not being visible.
Firefox: Clips is unable to distinguish between a screen being shared and a single window being shared.
