playbacks
Watching recordings again
Playbacks are instances of reproducing recorded audio or video.
The word emphasizes the act of playing something back—reviewing footage, listening to a recording, checking a take in the studio: We watched several playbacks before approving the final cut.
In sports, playbacks often refer to video replays used to review contested calls.
