Details

• Type: boolean
• Default: true (when recording applies)
• Example: {"record":false}

Sessions are recorded by default within your recording limits: headful sessions from their display, headless sessions only when launched with "cdp": true or "live_view": true. "record": false turns it off for one launch.

Recording applies to headful sessions and to headless ones launched with "cdp": true or "live_view": true, at 480p (720p or 1080p on a recording plan). Recordings appear on the dashboard's Sessions page. See Session recording.
