# Run Videos

TesterArmy records test runs for you. Both web runs and mobile simulator runs produce an MP4 video that you can replay from the dashboard or download for debugging, bug reports, and support handoffs.

You do not need to run a screen recorder, manage browser capture, save simulator output, or upload videos manually. Start a run, and TesterArmy handles capture, storage, playback, and sharing.

## What gets recorded

| Run type    | What TesterArmy captures                                                       |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Web runs    | The browser session while the agent completes the test.                        |
| Mobile runs | The iOS Simulator session while the agent installs, opens, and tests your app. |

Each completed run keeps the video alongside the step trace, screenshots, issues, and result. When a run fails, the video shows the exact user journey that led to the failure.

## Download videos

Open a completed run from the project dashboard and use the video player's download control to save the MP4 locally. The same applies to shared run reports, so teammates can download the recording without needing to reproduce the run themselves.

This works for both web and mobile runs.

## Why this matters

Video capture is part of the run pipeline, not a separate setup step. TesterArmy automatically:

* Starts recording when the run begins.
* Stops recording when the provider session finishes.
* Stores the final MP4 with the run.
* Serves the video in the dashboard and shared reports.
* Keeps the recording connected to the run output and step timing.

That means every result has the context needed for triage. You can send a report, attach the video to an issue, or hand it to another engineer without asking them to rerun the test or reproduce the environment.

## Availability

Recordings are created for completed web and mobile runs. If a run is canceled or the provider session ends before recording is finalized, the run may finish without a video.

If a recording is still processing, refresh the run after a short wait.
