# 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.
***
## Video Guide
### **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.
