This can lead to disclosure of sensitive data, such as source control information, sensitive workplace documents, or even intellectual property in a hosted environment where sensitive data is not properly protected.
To be safe, we recommend disabling this plugin by default.
How to disable the Jenkins ScreenRecorder Plugin?
Go to: System > Administration > Plugins and click the “Disable” button on the first tab “Screen Recorder Plugin”.
Now, whenever you try to start a screen recording task, Jenkins will prompt you with the following message:
“Screen Recorder Plugin is active but Insecure by default. If you want to disable this Plugin. Go to System > Administration > Plugins and click “Disable” on the first tab “Screen Recorder Plugin”.”
To re-enable the plugin, click “Enable” on the first tab.
If you’re running Jenkins 1.x or 2.x, you can disable the plugin without installing a new version. Open the Jenkins dashboard and navigate to: System > Administration > Plugins. Select the “Screen Recorder Plugin” and click “Disable”. Once you’ve done that, you can no longer start a screen recording task. To re-enable the plugin, click “Enable” on the first tab.
Jenkins and Screen Recording
The Screen Recorder Plugin is a useful tool for capturing the steps involved in a new build or release. However, if you wish to remain safe from disclosure of sensitive data, such as source control information, sensitive work documents, or even intellectual property in a hosted environment where sensitive data is not properly protected, disabling it can be done with ease.
To disable the plugin, go to System > Administration > Plugins and click “Disable” on the first tab “Screen Recorder Plugin”.

You can prevent Jenkins from recording screens when a job runs by setting the “Screen Recorder Plugin” to “Don’t Record When a Job Runs”.
