# View AI moderated study session recordings

AI moderated studies are continuously recorded, so each participant's submission includes a video spanning their entire session—their audio, screen recording, and camera feed.

**To open a participant's session recording:**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to the **Responses** tab of your study.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://3976082747-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FIKfn7RcT4CW9XaIbqAdd%2Fuploads%2FfSwVpf2Z75gAyYsexa37%2FAI_mod_responses%20(3).jpg?alt=media&amp;token=2978b8d5-e961-4128-8524-2199865ad9ce" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click the **Participants** icon in the left sidebar, then select the participant.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://3976082747-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FIKfn7RcT4CW9XaIbqAdd%2Fuploads%2Fr7NeOQn5IReFauP5B974%2FAI_mod_responses%20(8).jpg?alt=media&amp;token=d57fc170-8c43-4a71-bcd4-8bc124e34244" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **View full recording** at the top of the participant's response data.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://3976082747-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FIKfn7RcT4CW9XaIbqAdd%2Fuploads%2F4PIPH0VEwoRR7lXvK5HG%2FAI_mod_responses%20(5).jpg?alt=media&amp;token=ae84a2f5-02c9-476e-8939-36a2bf93bfd8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Now, the session recording opens with the video player alongside a panel of views. Use the tabs beside the recording to switch between the views described below.

### Transcript

The **Transcript** view is shown by default. It displays the full, timestamped conversation between the AI moderator and the participant, synced to the recording—click any line to jump straight to that moment in the video.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** If you enabled multiple languages, you can view the transcript in both English and the original language using the language toggle.
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="https://3976082747-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FIKfn7RcT4CW9XaIbqAdd%2Fuploads%2FJARoCEDJzi23kIJ3g2gD%2FAI_mod_recordings%20(4).jpg?alt=media&amp;token=8b5fcdea-31f6-41e5-a188-ca504f40b8da" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Clicks

The **Clicks** view shows the participant's on-screen interactions during **Task** questions—the clicks they made on your website or prototype—so you can see how they navigated. Clicks are grouped by task.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** The Clicks view appears only for sessions that include a Task question, and click data is captured only when your study requires the Chrome extension. For more information, see [Manage participant experience in an AI moderated study](/ai-moderated-studies/create-an-ai-moderated-study/manage-participant-experience-in-an-ai-moderated-study.md).
{% endhint %}

### Clips

The **Clips** view lists any clips created from the recording, by you or another researcher. Clips are short, shareable excerpts—useful for highlighting a key moment for your stakeholders.

<figure><img src="https://3976082747-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FIKfn7RcT4CW9XaIbqAdd%2Fuploads%2FvHJ36xwVRVtPQzYas0wY%2FAI_mod_recordings%20(9).jpg?alt=media&amp;token=1b9229c9-5b84-4420-a362-f45904fe3d43" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**To create a clip:**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Click **+ New** in the top right of the Clips view.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://3976082747-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FIKfn7RcT4CW9XaIbqAdd%2Fuploads%2F5eQ1wyWNMmFoJmkJgfMp%2FAI_mod_recordings%20(10).jpg?alt=media&amp;token=417854b1-6550-49dc-9667-f7cd0662a1b4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
On the recording's timeline, use the sliding bar to set a start and end point.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Create clip**. Your new clip appears in the **Clips** view.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Use the **My clips** and **Favorites** options to filter which clips are shown.

### Tags

The **Tags** view shows the tags applied to this session. Tags help you label and organize key moments so you can quickly find and filter them during analysis. For more information, see [Create and manage tags](/study-basics/analyze-studies/create-and-manage-tags.md).

<figure><img src="https://3976082747-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FIKfn7RcT4CW9XaIbqAdd%2Fuploads%2FcIk5TzZOlNKfmYBB3iu0%2FAI_mod_recordings%20(3).jpg?alt=media&amp;token=abbfe1f3-039b-454b-9c29-8ec7dc4d6dce" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Visual intelligence

When enabled, visual intelligence captures data based on participants' expressions and actions they take on their screens. This data is displayed in various forms throughout analysis of an AI moderated study. For more information, see [Visual intelligence](/ai-moderated-studies/analyze-an-ai-moderated-study/visual-intelligence.md).

<figure><img src="https://3976082747-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FIKfn7RcT4CW9XaIbqAdd%2Fuploads%2FW7h69grAY0TovYY8CDll%2FVisual_intelligence%20(8).jpg?alt=media&amp;token=553f3075-c1a9-4a4a-9a7f-960d680b218c" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Export a session recording

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.dscout.com/ai-moderated-studies/analyze-an-ai-moderated-study/view-ai-moderated-study-session-recordings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
