# Setting Up Autify

## Setting Up Your Environment

1. Please read the system requirements and make sure that your environment meets them.
  - [System requirements for operating environments](/docs/system-requirements-for-operat)
  - [Which browsers can I use with Autify?](/docs/does-autify-dashboard-support)
2. Launch the Chrome browser and create a user to use Autify. (To avoid being affected by other Chrome extensions and settings)  

First, select [Profiles] -> [Add Profile...] from the menu (macOS) or Chrome menu.

The Chrome user will then be created and a new window will launch. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/a099d8a2-cfd2-42ca-9906-68b4a337f4a5/Images/Documentation/image%2885%29.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T06%3A11%3A01Z&se=2026-11-01T07%3A11%3A01Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=zlr1TKsA%2Fu0aVAKTQfx8ayf%2FjpXoXPXPedA%2F4vulWgY%3D)

In the Chrome menu, select [Users] -> [Edit...]. You can edit the user name. It is recommended that you give the user a name that is easy to recognize as an Autify user. (ex. Autify user)

For more information on how to create a Chrome user, please refer to the [Google Chrome Help](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2364824?hl=en).

**The following steps should be performed with the user you created here.**

1. After you have created your profile, to record a Scenario on Autify, you will need the Chrome extension Autify Recorder. Please download it from [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/autify-recorder-new/lmmpjincoilkndipbbpaojcpamfacbel). ![AutifyExtensionStore](https://cdn.document360.io/a099d8a2-cfd2-42ca-9906-68b4a337f4a5/Images/Documentation/AutifyExtensionStore.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T06%3A11%3A01Z&se=2026-11-01T07%3A11%3A01Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=zlr1TKsA%2Fu0aVAKTQfx8ayf%2FjpXoXPXPedA%2F4vulWgY%3D)
2. Input chrome://extensions on the address bar to access the list of extensions. Make sure that you see Autify Recorder on the page. ![AutifyVersion](https://cdn.document360.io/a099d8a2-cfd2-42ca-9906-68b4a337f4a5/Images/Documentation/AutifyVersion.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T06%3A11%3A01Z&se=2026-11-01T07%3A11%3A01Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=zlr1TKsA%2Fu0aVAKTQfx8ayf%2FjpXoXPXPedA%2F4vulWgY%3D)
3. From the preference screen of Autify recorder, enable [Allow in incognito]. Incognito mode is required when recording. ![MakeSureIncognitoIsOn](https://cdn.document360.io/a099d8a2-cfd2-42ca-9906-68b4a337f4a5/Images/Documentation/MakeSureIncognitoIsOn.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T06%3A11%3A01Z&se=2026-11-01T07%3A11%3A01Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=zlr1TKsA%2Fu0aVAKTQfx8ayf%2FjpXoXPXPedA%2F4vulWgY%3D)
4. If the Autify Recorder is disabled when you start recording, a warning message will be displayed. This is the same warning as when the Recorder is not installed.

Open the Preference screen and enable Autify Recorder. ![PreferenceScreen](https://cdn.document360.io/a099d8a2-cfd2-42ca-9906-68b4a337f4a5/Images/Documentation/PreferenceScreen.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T06%3A11%3A01Z&se=2026-11-01T07%3A11%3A01Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=zlr1TKsA%2Fu0aVAKTQfx8ayf%2FjpXoXPXPedA%2F4vulWgY%3D)

*Preference screen will appear when you click on the Autify Recorder icon on the taskbar and click [Manage extensions].

1. Delete some apps that could affect Autify's functionality from your Chrome browser.

Access chrome://apps from your address bar, then right-click (Usually Ctrl + click on Mac) on YouTube app, then select [Remove from Chrome...] displayed on the context menu.
