Plug in Implementation of Session Replay
Implement Amplitude Session Replay with the browser SDK plugin, covering requirements, sample rates, validation, and privacy masking.
This walkthrough installs the session replay plugin on a browser SDK app, sets a sample rate that fits a monthly quota, and confirms captured sessions through the dashboard, ingestion monitor, and Chrome extension. It also covers masking and unmasking elements for privacy, plus how Amplitude handles data retention and deletion requests. A short section at the end covers the standalone SDK for apps that use a third-party provider or a server-side setup.
What you'll learn:
Meeting the requirements for a session replay implementation
Installing and initializing the session replay plugin
Calculating a sample rate that fits your monthly session quota
Validating captured sessions through the dashboard and Chrome extension
Masking and unmasking elements to protect user privacy
Managing data retention, deletion, and the standalone SDK option
