## Browser Extension Conflict Detected

If you see the error message **"Browser Extension Conflict Detected"** while recording in Chrome or Edge, **disable** the Panaya extension in the browser you are *not* using to record.

The conflict occurs because the extension is **active in multiple browsers**.

Follow these steps to resolve the extension conflict issue:

1. **Disable the Panaya Recorder in the browser you are *not* using to record.**  
For instance, if you want to record in Edge and the Panaya Recorder extension is also **installed and enabled** in Chrome, you should disable the Panaya Recorder in Chrome. **Apply the same approach in reverse if recording in Chrome.**
2. **Disable and Enable the Panaya Recorder extension in the browser you're using to record.**  
Refer to the instructions below on how to **disable** and **enable** the Panaya Recorder extension to refresh the extension connection on the browser you want to record.
