Delay Recording Start

Hi, is there a way set a delay between when you click to record and when OBS actually starts recording? I'd prefer not to record the "Wormhole" window that you see when you open OBS and start recording.

I know I can set a hot key to start recording, go into the window I want to record, then press it -- which works. But I'd prefer to click the button because I'm always paranoid the hotkey didn't work and how do I know I'm recording for sure?!

Many thanks!

You can configure OBS to show up in the Windows system tray. Its icon has a red dot, if recording is active.
