ScreenCI

Deployment Automation

Automation ensures your product videos always match your production environment. ScreenCI allows you to integrate video rendering directly into your development workflow.

Deployment Strategies

Managed Cloud Renders

The recommended way to use ScreenCI. We handle the heavy lifting of browser provisioning and video encoding.

  1. Trigger: Connect your GitHub or GitLab repository.
  2. Render: On every push or merged PR, ScreenCI spins up a headless browser in our cloud.
  3. Deploy: The resulting 4K video is optimized and served via our CDN instantly.

Self-Hosted CI Recording

For enterprise teams with strict security requirements or applications behind a private VPN.

  • Run Locally: Use the ScreenCI CLI inside your own GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or CircleCI runner.
  • Upload Metadata: Your CI only sends the UI interaction metadata and raw frames to our API.
  • Privacy: No external access to your internal staging environments is required.

Monitoring & Alerts

A broken video is worse than no video. ScreenCI monitors every render and notifies you if a UI change breaks your flow.

Slack Integration

Connect your team’s Slack workspace to receive real-time alerts.

  • Success Notifications: Confirm when a new video is live on production.
  • Failure Alerts: Get deep-links to the failing step and logs the moment a selector isn’t found.

Email Summaries

For teams that prefer a daily or weekly digest of their video health.

Embedding Videos

Every ScreenCI video comes with a permanent URL. This is the “magic” of our platform:

  • Embed once: Copy the code snippet into your documentation once.
  • Update everywhere: When your CI triggers a new render, the video at that permanent URL is swapped out. You never have to touch your site’s code again.
