Screen recording - unattended robot

Why can’t we have a feature in UiPath that records the session in the unattended robot and stores in the orchestrator.
It can be like enable and disable option for security constraints.
If user chooses enable the session should be recorded when unattended bot starts the execution of the process.
If user chooses disable it wont record the session.

This can be helpful for reference purposes as we can’t see the execution of process in unattened mode apart from logs

Hi @Singoji_Durga

This is partially available for processes that failed, see here:

For now, it is only available On-Premise, but we are working to bring it to Cloud as well.

In the meantime you can use remote desktop shadowing
Mstsc.exe /shadow:[sessionID] /v:[machine name] /noConsentPrompt
If you are not an admin on the machine , add /prompt to input admin credentials.
You also need to allow shadowing in the local group policy for that machine.

This would be very helpful. We are using REFramework and try/catch blocks, so even if a process “fails”, we raise an application exception but the job completes successfully.
Having the option to switch on recording either per process, or with application exception as the trigger (rather than job faulted), would be very helpful for troubleshooting!

Hi Maciej,

Recording is helpful but how to manage those recording?

For Example : if we have option to Auto delete those screenshots based on user input from Process settings similar to Enable / Disable recording, which will be helpful to manage those folders else will face memory issue if we have huge number automations running Recording feature.

Thanks, I’ll send it to our internal tracker so that we’re sure that someone from the Orchestrator team will have a look at your suggestions :slight_smile:

Hi
According to the previous article it looks like the Screen record function is not available Aug-2020. We’re running a UiPath v. Orchestrator 2020.10.8. hosted in Azure (in the Cloud).
Is this version supporting the screen record function?
If yes, how is this enabled?
