## 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](https://cdpfleet.com/docs/recordings).
