Screen Recordings Stopping Mid Call but the Call Continues

  • 1.  Screen Recordings Stopping Mid Call but the Call Continues

    Posted 01-13-2026 14:11

    Hello!

    We wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this issue and if so what was the root cause and the fix.

    We are finding randomly or during our QA process that agents screen recordings are stopping in the middle of their calls. The agents do not seem to be having issues with connectivity as far as the internet because the calls are continuing. You can hear the audio of them typing or reading from the screens. The agents are not seeing any disruptions on their end during these calls. 

    It does not always happen on all their calls in one day or it may happen today but not the day before. 

    It does not appear to be a length of call issue because we have seen this happen on 2 min calls & 30 min calls.

    All of these are happening in a Citrix environment & most are remote workers. We have checked the agents Citrix connectivity during the time frames of the issues and everything looks good. Internet speeds are checked but obviously not at the exact time of the incidents since we do not know there are issues until after the fact. 

    Any assistance  would be appreciated.

    Jessica

    Hi Jessica,

    I ran into a similar issue where screen recording wasn't working at all. In my case, it was caused by a Chrome update that restricted certain permissions. If I recall correctly, the setting that fixed it was enabling "Local Network Access."

    You can find this option under the browser's Privacy and Security settings. It might be worth checking that permission to see if it resolves the issue for you.

    Best regards,

    Thanks, Angel! We actually had that option automatically applied to all the agents PureCloud access with the Chrome browser.  We did confirm that is it currently running on her system but still having this issue.

    Hi Jessica, good morning.

    Could you please collect the console and network logs? This might help identify the specific error and provide more clarity on what is happening.

    In the meantime, it might be worth checking if an antivirus is scanning and blocking the connection. You could try adding the Genesys URL to your browser's trusted sites or its performance whitelist.

    Best regards.

    We are currently working with our internal network team gathering the logs for review with with our vendor, C1 & Genesys.

    We have already gone down the paths for antivirus, firewall , and the Genesys URL  being added to the browser's trusted sites/performance whitelist.  Those do not see to be the issue.

    Hi,

    One thing that can cause this is if the agent's screen goes into screenlock - it will break the connection for screen recording without affecting the audio.

    We have some random occurrences of screen rec going blank, and Genesys support have requested console & network logs from affected users so they can look into it further.

    Thanks, Dave! Unfortunately,  the screen lock has not been the issue with our examples. We are working with Genesys support but still a lot of unanswered questions..

    Hi Jessica,

    FYI. 

    Screen recording would be stopped even if there is a small packet of data loss for a fraction of milliseconds. Once the connection is disconnected it does not re-establish. This is the reason screen recording is not available while the call was in progress for your interaction. Let's hear from Genesys Care team too. Please update here once you receive a response from care team.

    Thank you, Raja for the information. I will pass this along to our internal team. Once we have any information on the why, I will be sure to update.

    Unfortunately, no. We have been working with the Genesys Technical Support Engineers for weeks and they are unable to figure out the issues.  We are still continuing to work with them on a resolution and will update here once we hear something.

    Hi Jessica

    We're seeing the same issue in my client org.

    Support requested console and network logs, but since it happens randomly, they're not possible to capture.

    In one test I overloaded the CPU, which caused the GcbaBrowser process to stop. 

    However, my client isn't experiencing CPU problems.

    Looking for update in community. 

    Best regards,

    It took us a few conversations with the engineers to explain to them we are only seeing this after the fact. We were able to get some logs from day of the incidents but only when we were watching agents with known issues and pulling as soon as we saw the screen capture issues. Genesys seems to be having issues determining the issue and the cause but we are still working with the daily. I will update once I have any new information.

    We notice this when we ran the old Beta version of GCBA or when the computer was struggling for memory, we use Chrome which is a memory pig and was impacted when our agents had a load of Tabs open..draining memory
