# Recording hover

BugBug will not record hover (mouseover) events automatically. There is no reliable way of automatically detecting that something changed on the page because of cursor movement. You need to record a specific instruction that you want to hover an element. 

1. During the recording, click "Hover" in the [recording overlay](https://docs.bugbug.io/recording-tests-steps/bugbug-test-recorder).
2. Click the element that you want to hover.
3. Click "Exit hover mode".
