The Studio only starts automatically recording if the Host joins the Studio before a Guest enters. Enable the Lobby's waiting room so the Host is always in the Studio before any Guests. The recording does not auto-start if a Producer, rather than a Host, is in the Studio without the Host. 

When this setting enabled, the Host cannot start with a test recording.
