# How to control recording settings in a Live Interview

This article explains how interviewers can view and manage recording status during a Live Interview. Recording always requires candidate consent, and the interviewer can request consent whenever needed.

***

## Prerequisites

* You must be logged in as an **interviewer**.
* You should be inside the **Live Interview Room**.
* Ensure your camera and mic are allowed in the browser if you plan to record both sides.

### **Recording Indicator**

The top of the Live Interview Room displays the current recording status:

* Red indicator + “This interview is being recorded.”→ Recording is active.
* White indicator + “This interview is not being recorded.”→ Recording is disabled due to candidate preference or compliance rules.

Interviewers can also see whether the candidate has consented or declined recording.

***

## Steps to Request Candidate Consent

If recording is disabled:

1. Click **“Request consent.”**
2. A prompt appears for the candidate.
3. Recording resumes only if the candidate clicks **“I consent.”**

You cannot force or override recording without candidate approval.

***

## Steps to Resume Recording

Once the candidate provides consent:

1. The indicator changes to **red**.
2. The message updates to: **“This interview is being recorded.”**
3. You may continue with the interview as usual.

If the candidate opts out again, the system stops recording immediately.

> ### Additional Notes
>
> * Always verify that the candidate has given explicit consent before recording.
> * Recording features may vary based on compliance requirements in different regions.
> * The candidate has full control and can stop recording at any time.
