Watch a run while it works.

Every hosted run has a live view: a read-only stream of the browser while the agent works. When the run ends, its video, screenshots, network log and Playwright trace show exactly what happened.

Live while it runs

Open the live view from the dashboard, or from live_view_url in the CLI’s JSON output or an MCP client, while the run is working.

Recorded every time

Hosted runs record a video, a screenshot for each step, a HAR network log and a Playwright trace.

Share with your team

Send a run link to a teammate, or let a coding agent read the same steps and recordings.

Watch a hosted run

Start a task or a check, then open its live view. You see the browser as the agent clicks and types, and the run status as it changes.

Replay it afterwards

When the run finishes, open the recording and the step list. Each step has its screenshot, and the network log and console show the requests behind it. Recordings are kept for 5 days.

For every hosted run while it is working or paused.

Can I take control of the browser?

Not yet. Live view is read-only today.

How long are recordings kept?

5 days. Download anything you need to keep.

Does live view replace Trace?

No. Live view shows the run as it happens. Trace is where you investigate afterwards, with steps, requests, console messages and screenshots side by side.
