### Video replay

Use video replay to diagnose test failures by showing unexpected UI behavior or pop-ups that may have caused the issue.
Use video replay to diagnose test failures by showing unexpected UI behavior or pop-ups that may have caused the issue. Video replay requires [screenshots to be enabled](#screenshots-and-actions). Disabling screenshots for a step prevents video replay for all test runs.

Click on an individual test run from the [Mobile Application test details page][11] to view detailed information in the side panel, including step duration, pass/fail status, and screenshots. Use the **Video Replay** tab to watch the complete test execution.
