And an even better alternative (to screenshots): Enable trace files and use the trace viewer to troubleshoot your test issues.

Set your traces to 'retain-on-failure'

https://playwright.dev/docs/trace-viewer-intro

In our big repo we retain video and traces on failure.

It's the only way to help engineers move forward.

The video is a bit redundant but it's easier to share with no technical folks.
