Videos

Playwright can record videos for all pages in a browser context. Videos are saved upon context closure, so make sure to await browser_context.close().

Sync

context = browser.new_context(record_video_dir="videos/")

# Make sure to close, so that videos are saved.

context.close()

Async

context = await browser.new_context(record_video_dir="videos/")

# Make sure to await close, so that videos are saved.

await context.close()

You can also specify video size, it defaults to viewport size scaled down to fit 800x800.

Sync

context = browser.new_context(

record_video_dir="videos/",

record_video_size={"width": 1024, "height": 768}

)

Async

context = await browser.new_context(

record_video_dir="videos/",

record_video_size={"width": 1024, "height": 768}

)

Saved video files will appear in the specified folder. They all have generated unique names. For the multi-page scenarios, you can access the video file associated with the page via the page.video.

Sync

path = page.video.path()

Async

path = await page.video.path()

note

Note that the video is only available after the page or browser context is closed.
