If you’re interested in accessing qualitative customer insights at scale, you can either watch session replays directly from the Amplitude homepage or search for replays based on specific criteria like date range, events, event properties, user properties, or cohorts. Use these replays to quickly get qualitative insight into your product and inform investment decisions, especially if you can’t talk to all your customers. With Session Replay, you can:

By tracking events (versus a list of CSS selectors), you can understand the parts of your product customers are engaging with—as defined by you in Amplitude—and identify the instrumentation opportunities that matter to you.
