These controls let you start and stop the recording of streams.

Control	Function	Description
	Start recording.	Starts the recording of all selected streams.
	Stop recording.	Stops the recording of all streams.

Note
Recording is disabled when one or more pre-conditions - such as inter-stream dependencies - are not satisfied.

When recording, the recording meter appears below the record controls. The meter tracks the available amount of memory buffer throughout the recording and lists the file name, file size and recording time. The buffer size is configurable under the Kinect Studio Settings.

Note
The file size listed as part of the recording meter is the count of bytes written to disk (excluding any buffered data). If the sensor is unplugged while recording, there is no data to capture, and you will see the recording time increase but the file size remains unchanged.
