Genesys Cloud Background Assistant (GCBA) is a Windows-only background service that enables screen recording functionality for Genesys Cloud web browser users by operating invisibly as a Windows service on system startup. The application supports screen recording across multiple deployment scenarios, including the Genesys Cloud web application, embedded clients (Salesforce, Zendesk, Microsoft Teams), browser extensions (Chrome and Firefox), private deployments with Embeddable Framework, CX Cloud, Salesforce integrations, and Unified Experience from Genesys and ServiceNow. The 64-bit version is recommended for optimal performance. Installation requires downloading and running the Windows installer, with options for silent deployment through third-party software deployment tools to accommodate organizational security policies and scheduled updates. During setup, users authenticate using email and password, select their organization's region, and configure desktop application settings to enable screen recording. The system supports single sign-on (SSO) authentication through administrator-enabled identity providers such as OneLogin and provides automatic login functionality after initial authentication, eliminating repeated credential entry. Users with multiple organization accounts using the same email address must specify the organization name during login. Desktop application settings can be configured with platform-specific variations available for both Windows and Mac systems, with detailed guidance provided in platform-specific documentation. The application integrates with CX Cloud from Genesys and Salesforce, as well as Unified Experience from Genesys and ServiceNow. Key limitations include lack of support for platform API or SDK custom integrations and incompatibility with Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environments, where GCBA operates on a user's desktop while accessing Genesys Cloud through a VDI browser. Related documentation covers system requirements, screen recording capabilities, deployment procedures, and integration scenarios with third-party platforms including ServiceNow and Salesforce Service Cloud Voice.
