The Xray Exploratory App (XEA) is a desktop-based Exploratory Testing Tool that works seamlessly integrated with Xray for Jira. It allows users to define exploratory testing sessions, record videos, capture and annotate screenshots, take notes and much more. It works integrated with Jira and Xray, but can also be used in a standalone mode (Jira and Xray are not required). More info here.
To the Support Team, sometimes, it is really useful to see directly in Jira the problems/suggestions that clients reported, and this way, XEA is a great asset as well!
That being said, below are the steps to create a session to record a video.
