Turn off recording countdown in Studio

« To Studio settings: Recording

By default, after the Host clicks Record in the Studio, each participant sees a 5-second countdown before the recording starts. Toggle this off in the Studio's settings to hide the countdown timer when you click Record.

NOTE:
When the countdown is toggled off, the recording still begins for each participant 5 seconds after the Host clicks Record.
