The Userback extension is an easy no-code way to quickly provide feedback on any website or web application. Simply download and install the extension and youβre ready to start submitting feedback.
Once youβre set up and logged in all you need to do to report feedback is go to the page you would like to report feedback on and click the Userback extension in your browser, from here you will be able to submit annotated screenshots and videos.
π‘Tip β You can set up your domains for filtering feedback into projects. By adding project domains, the Userback extension will default to the project used by that domain when submitting feedback.

CAPTURE FEEDBACK USING THE EXTENSION
Now that you are logged into the Userback browser extension, feedback can be collected for any project that you have access to within youβre account. The Browser Extension allows you to take and annotate screenshots or video feedback.
Screenshots
Selected Area
Drag a box to select an area of the page you would like to provide feedback. This option will allow you to save time by selecting an area and leaving a comment without the need to annotate and pin comments.
Current Tab
Take a screenshot of the page as you currently see it.
Entire Page
Take a full-page screenshot of the entire webpage you are on, regardless of how long it is.
Annotate your screenshots with the annotation tool at the bottom of the screen. To start drawing, simply select the tool and then [click + drag] your mouse to draw on the screen.
Box - Highlights a specific area of the page.
Pencil - Draw anything you like! Circle, point, works great with a touch screen and pen.
Line - Underline, strikethrough, and draw a straight line.
Arrow - Point to something.
Blockout - Blocks out any sensitive information on the screen.
Text - You can also drop a pin and add a text comment anywhere on the page.
Color Picker - You can select the colour of your annotation. Blockout will always default to black.
Within the viewer, you can select which project for the feedback to be assigned to, then completed the feedback form with feedback type, priority, assignee, category, title and comment on your feedback.
πNote - If you have clients using the browser extension, they will only have access to the projects you have given them access to, plus, Feedback Type, Category, Title and Leave a Comment. The Priority and Assignee fields will be hidden from them.
Recording
Full Desktop
Recording your full desktop means that you can choose to record across multiple browsers, tabs or even desktop applications.
Current Tab
Record the current tab you are on, even if you move to another tab or browser. Recording the current tab will allow you to navigate a site or application without having to stop and restart the recording. Refreshing the page will not stop the recording.
πNote - You can also use the pen annotation tool while recording, check out our Help Article How to collect and manage feedback with video screen capture.
Once a recording has been completed, you will be able to review the recording and add notes or bookmarks before submitting your feedback to your selected project.
Bookmarks can be made by simply clicking below the timeline. They will be available for viewing within the feedback viewer in your Userback account.
My Feedback
You are also able to view your previously submitted feedback, either as an overview, or you can click to open the Feedback viewer.
FAQ π¬
My full-page screenshots are not working, some of the images are missing or only partly shown.
The reason this might be happening is that the webpage you are on has elements and images that only load after you scroll, aka, lazy loading. We recommend scrolling to the bottom of the page before taking the screenshot, this will allow all of the images and elements to load, then scroll back to the top of the page and re-take the screenshot.
