Live View

Live View lets you watch a bot's execution in real time, directly in your browser. You see exactly what the bot sees — every page load, click, and interaction — as it happens.

How It Works

When an execution starts, hidettp establishes a WebSocket connection to the browser instance running your bot. The browser streams its screen using the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) screencast, delivering JPEG frames at up to 7.5 frames per second. This gives you a fluid, near-real-time view of the bot's activity.

The connection is routed through a Cloudflare tunnel, so your browser communicates securely without any infrastructure being directly exposed.

Accessing Live View

  1. Navigate to the Executions tab on your bot's detail page.
  2. Find the execution that is currently in the Processing state.
  3. Click the execution row to open the detail view.
  4. The live browser feed appears automatically.

Live View is available from the moment the execution begins until it reaches a terminal state (success, failed, cancelled, or timeout). Once the execution completes, the live feed ends and you can switch to the video replay for a recorded playback.

What You Can Observe

  • Page navigation and URL changes
  • Element interactions (clicks, typing, scrolling)
  • Dynamic content loading
  • Pop-ups, modals, and dialog boxes
  • CAPTCHA challenges and login screens
  • Any visual feedback the bot encounters

Secure Access

Live View sessions are secured through Cloudflare tunnels. Each execution gets a unique, short-lived tunnel URL that is only accessible to authenticated users in your organization. No ports are opened on the runner infrastructure, and the tunnel is torn down when the execution completes.
