Important Information

• Do not use screen mirroring for your recordings as it gives an impression that real devices were not used while testing. Individual Workspaces may have exceptions for this. If so, you will see it in their instructions. 

• In Testlio, a video screen recording attachment has to be less than 10 MB and in .mp4 format and with a minimum resolution of 720p.
