# Session Replay: Watch a Follow-Up Call Back

> Replay a completed take-home follow-up call as it looked in the interview room, with the recording, a timeline of flags, the transcript, and a summary of how the call went.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Who is this for?** Users with the **Organisation Administrator**, **Recruiter**, and **Hiring Manager** roles.

Session replay plays a completed [take-home follow-up call](https://docs.hellorecruiter.ai/companies/jobs/take-home-follow-up-call.md) back as it looked in the interview room. You see the candidate's files, what they and Nix (shown as **AI interviewer**) opened and marked, and the call itself. A timeline of flags runs along the bottom, and the transcript follows along beside it.

Use it to see what was on the candidate's screen when something was said, to check a flag in context, or to understand why a call ended early.

## Opening a Replay

**1. Open the take-home round**

Open the candidate's profile, go to the **Evaluation** tab, pick the take-home round from the dropdown, and switch to **Interview**.

**2. Find the follow-up call**

Below the submission is the **Follow-up call** section.

**3. Click Replay session**

The replay opens full screen under the title **Session replay**. To close it, click the **X** at the top right or press **Esc**.

Replay session on a completed follow-up call

> [!NOTE]

> **Replay session** appears once the call is completed. Until then, the section says where the call stands instead. See [Reviewing the Call](https://docs.hellorecruiter.ai/companies/jobs/take-home-follow-up-call.md#reviewing-the-call).

## What the Replay Shows

![Session replay with numbered labels: 1 Files, 2 file viewer with the AI interviewer's highlight, 3 call panel, 4 Session health, 5 transcript, 6 controls and timeline](https://mintcdn.com/hellorecruiter/XtNZjbcW8EFfO_81/images/screenshots/session-replay-mid-call.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=XtNZjbcW8EFfO_81\&q=85\&s=cd25d669c9961d38ba4197ddd9f53dd3)

A replay mid-call, with the AI interviewer marking a passage

| Part | What it shows |
| - | - |
| **Files** | The candidate's file list, with the open file marked. |
| File viewer | The file the candidate had open at that moment. Labeled pointers show the AI interviewer and the candidate opening files and marking lines. |
| Call panel | The AI interviewer and the candidate. The candidate's tile plays their camera when the call was recorded on video. |
| **Session health** | How the call went, in plain words. See [Session Health](#session-health). |
| Transcript | The conversation, following playback. See [Transcript](#transcript). |
| Controls and timeline | Play, skip, speed, flags, and the timeline of the whole call. |

When the candidate was away from the call, the screen dims and says why.

## Playing the Replay

Click play, or click anywhere on the timeline to jump to that moment. **Previous flag** and **Next flag** step through the flags, and the speed menu goes from **0.75x** to **2x**.

## The Timeline

![Replay timeline with numbered labels: 1 Details, 2 flags, 3 activity, 4 chapters, 5 Connection, Attention and Microphone lanes](https://mintcdn.com/hellorecruiter/XtNZjbcW8EFfO_81/images/screenshots/session-replay-timeline-details.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=XtNZjbcW8EFfO_81\&q=85\&s=92a7e542372bf1c93d424f2c20f39143)

The timeline with Details open

The bar along the bottom is the whole call. It's split into chapters named after what was on the candidate's screen, such as the file they had open. Click a chapter's name to start there.

Flags show as marks on the bar. Click **Details** to also see what happened on the call above the bar, and lanes for the candidate's connection, attention and microphone below it. Hover anything on the timeline to read it, and click it to jump there.

## Flags

Flags mark the moments worth a look. There are two kinds:

| Kind | What it is |
| - | - |
| **Risk signal** | One of the take-home round's [risk signals](https://docs.hellorecruiter.ai/companies/candidates/risk-signals.md) that points to a moment in the call. |
| **Safety check** | Something Nix flagged during the call, such as an attempt to change how the AI interviewer behaves, or abusive language. |

Hover a flag to see what was flagged and the evidence. Click it to play from just before that moment.

> [!TIP]
>
> A flag is a place to look, not a verdict. Watch the moment and read it in context before you act on it.

## Transcript

The transcript on the right shows the conversation in turns, **AI interviewer** and **Candidate**, each with the time it started. It follows playback and marks the line being spoken. Click a line to play it.

When you scroll the transcript, it stops following so you can read. Click **Follow playback**, or any line, to pick up again.

## Session Health

![Session health card with numbered labels: 1 a dropped connection and whether they rejoined, 2 time away from the call tab with a count and total, 3 the time each line happened](https://mintcdn.com/hellorecruiter/XtNZjbcW8EFfO_81/images/screenshots/session-replay-session-health.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=XtNZjbcW8EFfO_81\&q=85\&s=fad209ffde5c5ed0dc5ac71e0ca1a575)

The Session health card

The **Session health** card above the transcript sums up how the call went, in plain words and in time order: for example, a dropped connection and whether the candidate rejoined, time they spent away from the call, and how the call ended. Click a line to jump to that moment.

## What Is and Isn't Recorded

The replay is rebuilt from the call recording, the transcript, and activity recorded on the candidate's call page. **The candidate's screen itself is never recorded as video.**
