Desktop Explorer Browser Extensions
The Desktop Explorer browser extension is required by Desktop Explorer in order to trigger a new recording session from the Desktop Explorer application, otherwise it's in standby mode in your browser. Desktop Explorer is not supported in Mac because it was created for applications built in FULL .NET. Hence, installing Desktop Explorer Extension on Mac is redundant.
