Connecting the Browser Extension to Userback
Logging into the Userback browser extension is super simple, and you have two ways to do it. Choose the method that works best for you.

If you need someone to submit feedback without adding them as a member of your account, you can provide them with an Extension Key. This is ideal for clients or short-term contributors. Once their feedback is collected, simply revoke the key to remove their access.
Create, edit, and revoke keys right from the Extension Key page. It's important to know that Extension Keys can only be configured to a single project but they can be edited at any time by a workspace admin.
Capture Feedback using the Browser Extension
Once you're logged into the Userback browser extension, capturing feedback is a breeze. You can take annotated screenshots or record video feedback for any accessible project.
Keep in mind that clients will only have access to the projects you've authorized, and they'll see a limited set of fields.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are some of my full-page screenshots not rendering correctly?
A: This may happen if a webpage uses "lazy loading" for images and elements. To fix this, scroll to the bottom of the page to allow everything to load, then scroll back up and retake the screenshot.
Q: What access do clients have when using the browser extension?
A: Clients will only have access to the projects you've granted permission for. They can view Feedback Type, Category, Title, and Leave a Comment, but Priority and Assignee fields will be hidden.
Q: Are there any limitations to using the browser extension?
A: Yes, the browser extension does not support features like Session Replays, Console Logs, Event Tracking, and the JavaScript SDK. If these features are essential for your needs, you should consider using the Userback widget instead.
