Start Screen Recording Activity

The Start Screen Recording activity begins recording the screen during process execution, saving the result as a video file once recording stops. This is useful for capturing visual evidence of what a robot did while a process was running, for auditing or troubleshooting purposes.

Field Description Requirement
Recording video path The full file path where the resulting video recording will be saved. Required
Recording duration (minutes) The maximum duration, in minutes, that the recording will run before stopping automatically. Optional

Action Types & Examples

Recording Start

  • Format: string (file path)
  • Example Result: "C:\Robusta\process-recording.mp4"

Implementation Examples

Field Setup - Recording video path: C:\Robusta\process-recording.mp4 - Recording duration (minutes): 10

Technical Notes

If Recording duration (minutes) is left blank, the recording continues until a Stop Screen Recording activity is reached later in the process. Pair this activity with Stop Screen Recording to finalize the video file.
