Capturing Browser Extension Content in Hexus

While Hexus can seamlessly record most web interactions, capturing content from other browser extensions (like Apollo or similar tools) can be challenging due to certain Chrome limitations. However, here are a few effective workarounds to ensure you can still capture the full context of your demos:

​

1. Use Chrome Extension Shortcuts

To quickly capture browser extension content:

• Navigate to chrome://extensions/shortcuts in your Chrome browser.
• Set up custom shortcuts for capturing screenshots or activating specific features.
• Use these shortcuts during your Hexus recordings to seamlessly capture extension interactions.

​

2. Record Your Screen or Use the Video-to-Flow Converter

If capturing live extension interactions isn’t feasible:

• Use Hexus’s built-in screen recording feature to record your entire screen, including the extension UI.
• Alternatively, record your demo separately or reuse an existing video, then convert it to an interactive flow using the Hexus video-to-flow converter. This approach was used effectively in John’s demo on the Conceal Home page.

​

3. Append to an Existing Hexus Recording

For more comprehensive demos:

• First, capture your Hexus recording using the extension for the primary content.
• Then, use the “Record your screen” option to add in the browser extension parts.
• You can also upload relevant images or video clips to provide full context.

By combining these methods, you can effectively showcase your complete workflow, including third-party extensions, within your Hexus flows. For more tips and best practices, check out our support portal or reach out to our team for personalized guidance.
