Clarity Recordings in Real Time

After installing the tracking code, you can start viewing live recordings that recreate user interactions with your website/app. These include mouse movements, clicks/taps, scrolls, navigation, and many more. As you view user interactions, live recordings can help you understand the functionality of your website/app, identify user issues, and optimize the site/app's performance.
