How do I view Session replays?

Hi Bradley A., Please stand by as I search the Mixpanel knowledge base for an AI-powered answer. I normally take about 15 seconds or so. In case AI cannot answer your question, feel free to reach out to Mixpanel support at mixpanel.com/get-support. If you have follow-up questions for this thread, please tag me again with your question: @kapa.ai <follow-up question> 👋

You can view Mixpanel Session Replays in three different places: 1. From the User Profile page: Click the "View Replays" button on any user's profile page to watch replays from that specific user.2. From Mixpanel reports: Click any point on a chart in Event, Funnel, or User Profile reports, and select "View Replays" to view replays that show that event being fired.3. From the Home page: Find the Latest Replays card and click on individual replays to view them, or click "View All Replays" to see up to 100 of your latest replays.Once you're in the Replay Player, you can: - Expand to full-screen - Copy a URL with or without a timestamp to share with teammates - Change playback speed - Automatically skip inactive periods - See events in the replay timeline - Jump to different parts by clicking in the timelineThe Replay Feed on the left of the player allows you to sort replays by recency, activity, or duration, and search for replays by user information or event names.Mixpanel Session Replay documentation provides more details about viewing and using replays.Note that replays are stored for 30 days after ingestion, and you'll need to be on a compatible Mixpanel plan to access this feature.

Yes, Session Replay works with Mixpanel's Original ID Merge system. When implementing Session Replay, you'll need to ensure proper user identity management to connect replays with the correct user data.For projects using Original ID Merge, you should: 1. Implement the appropriate identity management code in your SDK setup 2. Use the identify() method to merge anonymous IDs with user IDs when users log inFor example, when using Session Replay with a CDP like Segment, you would include code like this to handle Original ID Merge: LBKS// For Original ID Merge mixpanel.register({ $device_id: segmentDeviceId, distinct_id: segmentDeviceId });LBKSThe Session Replay feature also supports server-side stitching, which helps connect events from different sources to the same replay by using the distinct ID and timestamp. This is particularly useful when you have events coming from both client-side and server-side implementations.To ensure accurate replay attribution, it's recommended to include the $mp_replay_id property on your events for guaranteed accuracy, regardless of which ID management system you're using.Session Replay with a CDP provides more details on implementation with Original ID Merge.
