Autocapture isn't detecting activity in a desktop app

Desktop coverage works differently from browser coverage, and plan and platform both matter here.

Check your plan first

  • Pro Team: Autocapture only runs through the browser extension (Chrome, Edge). Work in desktop applications isn't captured on this plan.
  • Enterprise: Autocapture can also run through the desktop app, so work outside the browser is captured too.

If you're on Enterprise and still not seeing desktop activity

  1. Confirm the desktop app is installed, signed in, and up to date, the same way you'd check the browser extension.
  2. Give it time. The same 48-hour (My Activity) and 7-10 day (Team Activity) windows apply to desktop activity as browser activity.
  3. Confirm the person is enrolled. You can check this in the Mapping Health Dashboard.
  4. Confirm the desktop app you're trying to capture has a correct AppTag set up for desktop specifically.
