To start session replays in Mixpanel, you need to initialize the Session Replay feature in your application. Here's how you can do it: For web applications: 1. Ensure you're using at least version 2.50.0 of the Mixpanel JavaScript SDK.2. During SDK initialization, set the record_sessions_percent option to enable Session Replay and control the sampling rate: LBKSmixpanel.init( "<YOUR_PROJECT_TOKEN> ", { record_sessions_percent: 1 //records 1% of all sessions } )LBKSThis single line of code is typically all you need to enable Session Replay for web applications.Mixpanel SDKs: JavascriptFor iOS applications (currently in Alpha): 1. Call the following method once at the beginning of your app's lifecycle: LBKSSessionReplay.getInstance()?.startRecording()LBKSSession Replay iOSIt's important to note that Session Replay is not enabled by default and requires additional instrumentation beyond standard Mixpanel setup. Before enabling it for a large audience, it's recommended to test in a demo project and start with smaller sets of users to monitor performance and ensure privacy rules align with company policies.Session Replay (Web): Watch playbacks of user digital experiences

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! 📚

I understand you're having trouble seeing session replays after calling the method. Let's troubleshoot this issue based on the information provided in the knowledge sources.Here are a few things you can check: 1. Search for Session Recording Checkpoint events: Look for events tracked as $mp_session_record in your Mixpanel project. These events are automatically emitted by the SDK when you capture Mixpanel session replays. If you've implemented correctly, you should see these events appear.Mixpanel SDKs: Javascript2. Check your sampling rate: If you're not seeing any replays, your sampling rate might be set too low. Make sure you've set an appropriate recordSessionsPercent value. For testing purposes, you might want to set it to 100 to ensure every user session is sent to Mixpanel.LBKSlet config = SessionReplayConfig(wifiOnly: false, recordSessionsPercent: 100.0) let sessionReplayInstance = SessionReplay.initialize(token: token, distinctId: distinctId, config: config)LBKSSession Replay (iOS): Watch playbacks of user digital experiences3. Check for replays on your project's home page: Look at the Latest Replays card on the home page of your Mixpanel project to see if there are any replays listed.Mixpanel SDKs: Javascript4. Be aware of the delay: There is about a 1-minute delay between when recordings are captured and when they appear in Mixpanel. Make sure you're allowing enough time for the replays to show up.Session Replay5. Verify your implementation: Double-check that you've implemented Session Replay correctly for your platform (web or iOS). Make sure you're using the latest version of the Mixpanel SDK and that you've followed all the necessary steps for initialization and configuration.If you're still not seeing any replays after checking these points, it might be helpful to enable logging for debugging purposes: LBKSsessionReplayInstance.loggingEnabled = trueLBKSSession Replay (iOS): Watch playbacks of user digital experiencesIf you're still struggling to implement or see replays after trying these steps, it's recommended to submit a request to Mixpanel's Support team for more assistance.Mixpanel SDKs: Javascript
