## Understanding "Instant Replay" 🔄&#x20;

The "Instant Replay" feature in TestBuddy allows you to effortlessly capture recent issues or bugs that occurred while browsing. It's akin to having a vigilant companion watching over your shoulder, ready to assist whenever needed. With "Instant Replay," you can revisit the last 2 minutes of your browsing activity, simplifying the process of identifying and documenting bugs.
