How Does Bugsnap Work?

At its core, Bugsnap is a widget that integrates into your website. Once added, users can:

  • Write a message describing the issue.
  • Take a screenshot of the current page.
  • Record a screen video to provide a clear context.

When they submit their report, Bugsnap captures additional data to help you understand and replicate the issue. All these reports are then sent to a centralized dashboard where you can view and manage them.
