# Desktop Recording

> Record across multiple tabs and windows to show bugs that span more than a single page.

Jam records a single tab, an entire window, or your full desktop.

When recording a window or your entire desktop, Jam captures console logs and network requests from every tab you interact with during the recording (as long as Jam is installed in that browser window).

When a bug spans multiple tabs, for example something updating in one tab but not another, desktop recording captures console logs and network requests from all tabs simultaneously. Engineers see the full picture even when the bug isn't contained in a single tab.

That way engineers can track a bug through multiple sites, tabs and windows.

See steps here to enable Jam on incognito windows: [Incognito sessions](/incognito).
