  • 1.  Screen Recording Issues

    Posted 5 days ago

    Hello Community,

    We are currently investigating an issue with screen recordings where the agent desktop video becomes distorted and then turns completely black, while audio recording continues uninterrupted.

    Environment:

    • Agents using the web-based desktop
    • Latest version of Genesys Background Assist
    • Issue observed across multiple agents (not user-specific)

    Behavior observed:

    • Screen recording starts normally
    • At a certain point during the interaction, the screen distorts and then goes black
    • Audio continues to record for the remainder of the interaction
    • We've noticed the black screen consistently seems to occur at or immediately after a Pindrop prompt/pop-up appears

    Questions for the community:

    • Has anyone else experienced screen recordings going black while audio continues?
    • Have you specifically seen this occur in conjunction with Pindrop or similar security/fraud tools?
    • Were you able to determine root cause or apply a workaround or configuration change?

    Hello Brad,

    That does certainly sound odd. If you are able to successfully recreate this issue, I would recommend capturing console and network logs and open a case with Product Support. If you do, please let me know what your case number is and I can monitor the issue internally.

    Thanks for the reply. we have had a case open since Aug of last year. we go through our partner Lumen and they open a case directly with Genesys. I have pulled multiple interaction ID's and full logs and they have been sent to Genesys. the feedback is they are saying "Network"

    Hi Brad,

    We are experiencing the same issue. I put something out on the Community back in Jan 2026 because we also have a ticket in with our Vendor, C1, and Genesys since Oct 2025.  I just noticed though the Admin closed my conversation. (https://community.genesys.com/discussion/screen-recordings-stopping-mid-call-but-the-call-continues#bm8ffb3d30-2fe7-4a69-9b17-019cace13cc6) 
    We have been working on this issue pretty much weekly with Genesys but still no real information as to why this is happening or any solutions on how to prevent it. It has been overly frustrating with the length of how long this issue has been going on with zero information from Genesys. We did get a Genesys engineer to finally admit he has multiple tickets from multiple companies with this same complaint.

    Hopefully  you will have better luck...

    Jessica

    Thanks for your insight, Jessica. i have looked through you post as well and mostly have done the same suggestions for fixes. Lets hope for some type of fix from Genesys or at least better insight on where to look because i have had no direction but just "network" issue.
    Lets keep each other posted of suggestions from the vendor. Thanks!

    Jessica- no they are not currently setup this way. we have on campus agents and at home agents but all have their own pc/laptops.

    @Jessica Knight

    I also came across another post related to screen issues that might be worth checking out. It could be helpful to review and see if anything in your environment aligns or stands out as a potential fix.

    Thanks Brad! I will forward to my team for review. I appreciate your assistance. We are working to escalate this issue again with Genesys....I will let you know if we hear anything other than "Network".

    Hi @Brad Wickson I have a similar issue in my organization where a subset of agents' screens is not getting recorded and the response from Genesys is "Network issue". They had suggested a few fixes and none of them resolved my issue :(

    Thx,

    Same here-nothing has helped so far. I was also advised to update their Background Assist app, which I've already done, but I'm seeing the same results. It's definitely been frustrating, especially since I believe I originally opened this ticket with them back in August of last year.
