FAQ

Screen Recording Questions, Answered Simply

Everything you need to know before setting up screen activity review on phones you manage.

What screen activity is captured?

Available records may include periodic screenshots, app screen activity recordings, and activity timelines — depending on device model, OS version, permissions, and your selected plan. Coverage varies significantly across platforms.

How frequently are screenshots taken?

Capture frequency depends on your plan configuration. Higher frequencies provide more complete records but consume more storage. Configurable within plan limits from your dashboard settings.

Is screen recording legal for employee devices?

Screen monitoring of employee devices is governed by strict laws in many jurisdictions — many require explicit advance notice in acceptable-use policies. Consult legal counsel before deploying in workplace contexts.

Does screen monitoring capture login credentials?

Screen records capture what is visible on screen. If password entry is displayed, those records may be captured. Handle all screen records with appropriate security and data protection measures.

Can I filter records to show only specific apps?

Yes. Your dashboard provides per-app filtering for available screen records, allowing you to focus on specific applications without reviewing all activity.

How much storage do screen records consume?

Screen records — particularly video — consume significantly more storage than other record types. Plan storage limits apply. Higher-tier plans support more extensive screen record storage.

Are screen records viewable in real time?

Screen records are not designed for instant viewing through standard monitoring. Records sync periodically, depending on device connection, permissions, and plan settings.

What if the device user changes screen recording permissions?

If permission is revoked, screen capture stops until permissions are re-granted during a subsequent setup process requiring physical device access.

Does screen monitoring affect device performance?

Background capture consumes some CPU and storage resources on the phone you manage. Performance impact depends on capture frequency and device hardware specifications.

Is there a legal difference between screenshots and video screen recording?

In many jurisdictions, video recording of screen content may be treated more strictly than periodic screenshots. Both are subject to privacy and monitoring laws. Consult legal counsel for requirements specific to your use case.
