What are Bot Session in Microsoft Clarity and how can I identify a session is a bot session. Can we prevent a bot session ?

Question

I've recently integrated Microsoft Clarity into our website and have observed the inclusion of 'bot sessions' in my dashboard's 'Total sessions' data. Despite conducting extensive research, I couldn't locate specific information about bot sessions within the Clarity platform. Consequently, I'm eager to gain a comprehensive understanding of what these bot sessions represent in Clarity, how they are generated, their potential impact on our website, strategies for accessing in-depth information about these sessions, and effective approaches for monitoring and tracking their increasing count.

Answer 1

To prevent bot sessions, use CAPTCHA, block known bot IP addresses, or employ a bot detection service. For monitoring, simply revisit the Session Recordings page and filter sessions by 'Bot Sessions.
