# View interview session recordings
Interview sessions are recorded and available for analysis from the **Sessions** tab of your study. Here, you’ll find sessions conducted directly within Dscout and any sessions you’ve uploaded manually.
{% hint style="info" %}
Quickly locate sessions using the search bar, which lets you search across session notes, marker labels, and more all in one go. Or, click **Filter** to apply filters like **Moderator**, **Demographics**, and more.
{% endhint %}
**To view an interview session recording,** click the participant’s name to open the recording view. For more information, see [Navigate an interview session](/interview-studies/conduct-an-interview-session/navigate-an-interview-session.md).
Below each session, you’ll also find a list of all screenshares that occurred during the session and any clips that have been made from the session. Click any of these to go to them directly in the recording view. Or, click the **Export** icon to quickly download them to your device. For more information, see [Export data from an interview study](/interview-studies/view-interview-session-recordings/export-data-from-an-interview-study.md).
## Navigate session recordings
Recordings will vary in length, but you can use Dscout’s built-in video player to navigate them in whatever way works best for you. Refer to the image and table below to understand your playback options:

To declutter the transcript view, you can disable highlights associated with markers and clips by clicking the **Transcript settings** button to the top right of the transcript.

## View AI notable moments
Dscout AI can help you identify key points in interview sessions by highlighting notable moments. These include crucial decisions and comments made by your participants during their session, which offer a great starting point for analysis.
To view AI notable moments, open the **Notable moments** drop-down at the top of the transcript. Then, select any notable moment to go directly to that point in the recording and transcript:
{% hint style="info" %}
If you don’t see the **Notable moments** drop-down, ensure AI notable moments are enabled from the **AI settings** menu.
{% endhint %}
