Thanks @stevejensen22 . I will try and take a look at this. I'll probably build it and try it out on my grid at work for a week or so (maybe next week or the week after).

Just a couple quick questions, this feature is on by default in this PR? And if I wanted a video of the entire desktop, I'd use that system property?

Is the only thing new from lines 131 - 165 in this PR, and everything else is the old logic?

Thanks.

So is the idea to use Selenium screenshots captured at a Browser level, and therefore support multiple videos?

If so, then you should keep in mind that the Selenium screenshot method has to wait for other Selenium methods to finish.

Therefore, if your page was extremely slow to load, your video would not reflect that as Selenium would be blocking until the DOM ready state is achieved. The page would appear to load immediately and be potentially confusing

The O/S level video is going to be a truer reflection of what actually happened

Hi there,

I'm fairly new to selenium grid extras but couldn't one use pageLoad: none as capabilities to skip the waiting for the page to fully load. I use that to inject a small piece of JS at the beginning and it works fairly well.

Best jan

Os level video is truer than browser level, but Os level video doesn't make sense if the node runs more then one session at a time, which is not true most of the times.
Therefore I think browser video should be configurable. Some would prefer the OS level because it is more reliable, but other who runs more than one session at a time per node would prefer the browser level.
