Screen recording in Flex

Floor Walker can record each agent's screen while they handle tasks, on every channel, including several conversations at once. The recording itself is done by the Screen Recorder desktop app; this page covers what agents, supervisors and admins see in Flex.

For agents​

Recording is automatic. When you accept a task, recording starts; when you complete your last open task, it stops and the recording is uploaded. Keep the Screen Recorder app running and the Flex tab open while you work.

Recording status​

The Flex header shows the recorder's status while Flex is connected to the app:

StatusMeaning
Recording (red)Your screen is being recorded.
Recording Paused (amber)Recording is paused; nothing is captured.
Not Recording (grey)Connected, no recording running.

If the status is missing, Flex isn't connected to the app.

Pausing for sensitive data​

Use Pause Recording in the header (or Pause in the task header) before sensitive information appears on screen, such as card numbers or ID documents. Nothing is recorded while paused. Click Resume Recording when you're done. Pausing applies to all your open conversations.

Opting out​

If your admin allows it, the header has a switch, Screen recording enabled / Screen recording disabled, to turn recording off for your sessions. The choice is stored in your browser and takes effect after you refresh Flex.

For supervisors and admins​

  • Recordings in the side navigation lists all screen recordings with search and filters, and opens them in the player. Settings on that page sets which tasks are recorded.
  • The CRM page has a play button on every interaction that has a recording.
  • Voice tasks have a Screen Recordings tab listing the recordings of that task.
  • The player supports timestamped coaching notes with categories and star ratings, and keyboard shortcuts.

The Recordings and CRM pages are shown to users with the Flex admin role. See Playback and coaching notes and Recording policy in the Screen Recorder section for details.
