1. Retrieve the session ID of the target device by using the connect device action.

   	                   url	                                                                              capabilities                                                                                                                                       name 
   assign device	http://joe.doe:1ec0bc84-0d18-424d-bbf2-8d5e51baae7b@ondemand.saucelabs.com:80/wd/hub    {"name":"TestArchitect - test gmail","browserName": "safari","deviceName": "iPhone 6 Simulator","platformName": "ios","platformVersion": "9.3"}    cloud_device
   
   	                   name	      session id
   connect device         cloud_device     >>session_id
   

2. Create a user-defined field to build a video link which captures entire automated tests in Sauce Labs.

   For example, create a field Screenshot Recording. (Learn more.)

3. Use the assign result field action to assign the video link’s value to the Screenshot Recording field.

   This link is built based on the target device’s session ID.

   	                session id		
   use device          #session_id		
   
   	                location	
   navigate	        https://www.google.com.vn/		
   
   	                field	             value	
   assign result field    Screenshot Recording     #"https://assets.saucelabs.com/jobs/" & session_id & "/video.flv"	
   

The test procedure should resemble the following.

In the test result, you will see a video link as follows.
