Iframe content doesn't show in recordings #13411

Closed raziele closed 6 months ago

raziele commented 1 year ago

Bug description

Hi!

We have a webapp embedded into our website as an Iframe.

For some reason, the content of the embedded frame doesn't show in our recordings: SCR-20221219-pen

example recording

To compare, we were able to record the same Iframe with FullStory with no issues. Here's an example screenshot: SCR-20221219-p4u

Environment

Same issue here. Here's how FS addresses in their public-facing documentation. Not sure how the capture script handles 'owned and operated' iframes out of the box.

@raziele sorry for the long delay. Did you check https://posthog.com/docs/session-replay/iframes#recording-cross-origin-iframes ? Or was it same origin?

raziele commented 6 months ago

Hi @marandaneto it was the same origin. A lot has happened since then; now the iframes are shown, however they are viewed many times as their own "tab" or "screen", which effectively causes a jitter effect that makes it hard to watch recordings. However, this specific issue is resolved.
