Birdie offers two recording modes to match your use case:
With Logs: This mode captures console logs, network requests, session metadata, and device metadata. It’s designed for internal use when reproducing errors, creating detailed bug reports, or escalating issues to developers.
Use case: Share videos with developers to provide complete technical details, enabling faster and more effective issue resolution.
Without Logs: It’s ideal for customer-facing situations where technical details aren’t needed.
Use case: Share videos with customers to guide them step-by-step with clear and straightforward video instructions.

Birdie allows you to record your screen in two formats: Entire Screen or Current Tab
Records everything on your screen, including other tabs, windows, and system elements (e.g., menus, notifications).
Ideal for workflows involving multiple tabs or apps.
Records only the active browser tab.
If you switch tabs, the recording stays on the original tab.
System elements like right-click menus are not included.
To include your voice in the recording, ensure your microphone is enabled:
The microphone defaults to your browser or operating system's selected input device. To choose a different microphone for Birdie, click the dropdown arrow next to the mic icon in the extension.
While recording, you can pause anytime using the toolbar at the bottom center of the screen.
Click the pause button again to resume:
Click the restart button on the toolbar to discard the current recording and start over immediately:
After finishing your screen recording, you'll see a preview of the video. In the preview, you can easily trim the recording to remove any unnecessary parts at the beginning or end.
Once you're satisfied, click 'Save and Copy' to finalize your trimmed video.
