Record Bug Reports
Replace long written bug reports with short screen recordings that show exactly what went wrong. A visual bug report eliminates ambiguity, includes console context, and gets fixed faster because developers see the issue firsthand.
Step-by-step
- 1
Reproduce the bug first
Confirm the steps to reproduce before you hit record. A recording of 'I can't find the bug' wastes everyone's time.
- 2
Open DevTools or logs alongside
If the bug has a console error or network failure, keep DevTools visible so the recording captures technical context in the same frame.
- 3
Record the reproduction steps slowly
Click deliberately and pause briefly between steps. Developers reviewing the recording need to see each action clearly.
- 4
Narrate what you expected vs. what happened
Say 'I clicked Submit and expected a confirmation, but got this error instead.' Audio narration adds context that's tedious to type.
- 5
Share the link in your ticket
Upload to Screenify and paste the share link into your Jira, Linear, or GitHub issue. The video embeds inline.
Screenify features for this workflow
Custom Area Capture
Lets you frame just the app and its DevTools panel, excluding irrelevant screen regions and keeping the recording focused on the bug.
Cursor Highlight
When a developer watches your report, highlighted clicks make it obvious exactly which element triggered the unexpected behavior.
System Audio
Some bugs involve audio — alerts that don't fire, sounds that loop, or missing feedback tones. Capturing system audio preserves this evidence.
