# Use the browser recorder

> Caution
> 
> The Grafana k6 Browser Recorder extension is deprecated. Use [k6 Studio](/docs/k6-studio/) to record network traffic.

The browser recorder doesn’t require a [Grafana Cloud account](/auth/sign-in), however, having one lets you upload the auto-generated k6 scripts to your selected Grafana Stack.

## Configure extension

To save the auto-generated k6 scripts to your [Grafana Cloud account](/auth/sign-in) you need to have an active session in the cloud.

1. Open the extension by clicking the k6 logo.
2. Click **Sign in**.
3. Proceed with signing in to Grafana Cloud.
4. Select Grafana Stack and click **Next**.

## Record session

1. Open the extension by clicking the k6 logo.
2. Click **Start recording** to begin recording the current browser tab.
3. When done, click **Stop recording**. You’ll be taken to the app to review the recorded test script.
4. Save the recorded script in any of your projects.

> In case you’re encountering issues when recording long sessions, try using [the HAR converter](/docs/k6/latest/using-k6/test-authoring/create-tests-from-recordings/using-the-har-converter/). The converter can also cover cases that browser extension does not support, for example, recording other tabs or pop-up windows.
