Instant Replay is a DOM session replay, not a video recording of your screen. Jam periodically snapshots HTML changes and stitches them together to render a replay inside an iframe. No screen video is ever recorded or stored locally.

Privacy
Instant Replay is built to be privacy-first:- All DOM snapshots are stored locally in your browser, never sent anywhere.
- The local buffer is permanently deleted every 120 seconds.
- Nothing leaves your machine until you explicitly click Create.
- Only the content you choose to share is uploaded.
Disable Instant Replay
You can remove Instant Replay from Jam anytime from the extension settings. You can also turn off Instant Replay for specific websites.How far back can Instant Replay capture?
How far back can Instant Replay capture?
Up to 2 minutes of session activity. This may be shorter on newly opened tabs or websites with heavy data loads, as the local buffer fills more quickly on those pages.
