By default, Mixpanel Session Replay does not show images – they are blocked for privacy, and rendered as empty placeholder boxes. [Session privacy]
So this is expected behavior unless you explicitly change the configuration. It’s not a hard limitation; you need to adjust your Session Replay settings:
- Web (JavaScript SDK): images are blocked by default via record_block_selector: "img, video". To allow images, override this in mixpanel.init (for example, remove img from the selector or set your own):
```
js
mixpanel.init('YOUR_PROJECT_TOKEN', {
record_sessions_percent: 100,
record_block_selector: 'video' // images no longer blocked
});
LBKSor use `record_block_class` / `record_block_selector` only for elements you **do** want blocked. [[JS init options](https://docs.mixpanel.com/docs/tracking-methods/sdks/javascript/javascript-replay#init-options); [Blocking elements](https://docs.mixpanel.com/docs/session-replay/session-replay-privacy-controls#blocking-elements)]
- **Mobile (iOS / Android / React Native):** all images are masked/blocked by default via `autoMaskedViews`. You can unmask them by changing `autoMaskedViews` in your Session Replay config. [[iOS privacy](https://docs.mixpanel.com/docs/tracking-methods/sdks/swift/swift-replay#privacy); [Android privacy](https://docs.mixpanel.com/docs/tracking-methods/sdks/android/android-replay#privacy); [RN privacy](https://docs.mixpanel.com/docs/tracking-methods/sdks/react-native/react-native-replay#privacy--data-masking)]
If you tell me which platform (Web, iOS, Android, React Native) you’re using, I can show the exact config snippet you should use.
