Instant Replay works by taking periodic HTML snapshots of the DOM (Document Object Model). These snapshots are then stored in your browser’s local storage until you create a Jam, at which point they can be used to generate a video demonstrating the bug in question. On heavy websites, Instant Replay can use significant browser memory and affect performance. Jam has safeguards in place so the feature stays lightweight. Jam automatically disables Instant Replay on heavy websites (many animations, frequent data re-renders, like crypto tickers or spreadsheet apps) to protect performance.

How to override Jam’s auto-disabling of Instant Replay on your website

As described above, Jam automatically disables the Instant Replay feature on particularly heavy websites as a precautionary measure to ensure no impact on browser performance. You can override this in the Jam extension settings if your device handles the load well. To revert, remove the website from the override list in extension settings.
