Recorder
Capture journeys on your live site with the VisualQ Detect Chrome extension.
Recording happens through Scenario Studio and the VisualQ Capture Chrome extension — not through an in-app screenshot overlay.
Learn on site (Scenario Studio)
- Open Scenario Studio and build your first steps manually (optional).
- Click Learn on site on the blocks screen.
- Install or open the VisualQ Capture extension and enter the pairing code.
- Open your target URL in Chrome (the dialog shows a clickable link).
- On site: use the side panel capture modes (see below).
Confirmed steps appear in the Studio step list in real time. When you are done, import or save from Scenario Studio — steps sync live while you record.
Side panel capture modes
After pairing, the VisualQ Detect side panel on your target site offers four modes:
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Pause | No capture |
| ARM | Captures the next click only, then pauses — opens the Detect modal to confirm |
| Continu | Captures clicks, form fills, and SPA navigations — Detect modal on each action |
| Auto | Same capture as Continu — automatically matches library steps or creates new ones (AI when needed). Steps marked ⚠ need review in Studio |
Keyboard shortcuts: Alt+Shift+P Pause · Alt+Shift+A ARM · Alt+Shift+C Continu · Alt+Shift+O Auto
Complete a single step
From the step list or verify screen, use Complete this step to pair the extension and capture one missing step definition for an existing draft row.
Limits
- Recording is scoped to the allowed host from your scenario base URL.
- Pairing codes expire after 15 minutes if the extension never connects.
- Step matching uses the FRT step library; unknown interactions may require confirming a new step in the Detect modal.
