With the upcoming changes in T411784 we plan to disable automatic recording to reduce overhead. What's then the easiest way for CI users to record a video of failing tests? Or for retries?

You can turn on the video recording by a setting in the wdio-configuration, however today it's in the capabilities section. That means instead of adding just the key/value you need to spread the values and make sure you add the old capabilities. That makes things a little bit harder.

There's a couple of different alternatives:

• Change how we configure on/off video recording, so it's easier for developers to enable it.
• Could it be a button in Gerrit?
• Automatically record tests that do a retry
• Other solutions
• Keep as is

Acceptance criteria:

• Evaluate different ways of doing and document pros and cons and if something should be done, create a follow up task
