# Watch coding video recordings and playback for Assessments

## Play recordings and understand the code editor

Toward the bottom of a [candidate's report](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/understanding-the-candidate-report-and-plagiarism-issues?hsLang=en), you will find video recordings of them solving each code challenge.

The video link will open the video recording powered by our partner, [Session Rewind](https://sessionrewind.com). Below is an overview of what you will see when watching recordings:

Candidates will first be given instructions for how to navigate the code editor depending on your assessment settings.

**Note:** The code editor can only be recorded if the candidate turns off ad blocker, so they may first see a message telling them to do so.

1. Challenge title (or [masked title](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/masking-challenge-titles-for-candidates?hsLang=en)) and instructions
2. [Time limit](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/what-are-candidate-timing-points?hsLang=en), if there is one
3. [Reference search](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/reference-search-in-the-code-editor-for-screening-assessments?hsLang=en), if enabled
4. Code editor where the candidate writes their code
5. Dropdown for [language options](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/languages-and-technologies-coding-skills?hsLang=en) available to the candidate
6. The candidate can run their code and see how it performs against [test cases](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/benchmarking-statistics-graph?hsLang=en)

If the candidate copies and pastes code from elsewhere, they will see a warning in the code editor. You will be able to see how many times they copy and pasted in the candidate report [cheating detection section](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/how-does-plagiarism-detection-work?hsLang=en). You will also be able to see what they copy and pasted in the solutions section.

When a candidate submits their code, they will see a message confirming their submission. If your organization does not have [redo challenge enabled](https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/allowing-candidate-to-view-their-own-results?hsLang=en), the candidate will be notified that they cannot change their code after submission.
