Good to know

• Auto-start also applies to live streaming.
• The studio only starts automatically recording if the host joins the studio before a guest enters. Enable the waiting room so the host is always in the studio before any guests.
• The recording does not auto-start if a producer or audience member joins the studio.
• When this setting enabled, the host cannot start the session with a test recording.
