Description

In our January 2026 retrospective, we agreed that having video recordings of failed Cypress runs would be very helpful to investigate failures. We should investigate:

if / how we can enable video recording in CI, such that the videos are available in the test artifacts (we probably don’t need videos to be recorded locally)
what the performance impact of recording video would be (see also T415170) – @mahmoud.abdelsattar.wmde thought it could have a significant negative impact

Documentation: Capture Screenshots and Videos. See also wdio-mediawiki configuration.

Timebox: 8 hrs
