Cypress Test Replay Now Captures Canvas Elements by Default
Cypress Test Replay now records canvas elements by default for every project in Cypress Cloud, eliminating the placeholder graphics that previously appeared during debugging. The change requires no Cypress version upgrade; it works with any installation of Cypress 15.5.0 or later. A new project‑level toggle lets teams disable canvas capture if performance concerns arise. However, canvas elements inside Shadow DOM remain unsupported, and older Cypress versions still cannot capture canvas.
