Apologies if I'm being dumb... I can't find a pause button for recording.
There's only start and stop.

+ Are there skins anywhere?
What I would love is a big giant Start and Stop (and Pause) Recording buttons - making it more obvious.

Thanks.

That's really odd.
For such a cool piece of software to miss something as fundamental.
From what you say, will be in future releases. That's good.

It is a common request, but given OBS' primary roles as switcher/compositor/streaming encoder, it was not looked upon as fundamental for quite some time. Even OBS' local recording facilities are essentially just an extension of its streaming capabilities, since both are based on FFMpeg.

OBS was developed as a streaming application, and with streaming you pause by switching to a scene showing a "pause" screen. Recording is only some kind of byproduct of the streaming functionality, so a "pause writing to disk" functionality was never implemented. Finally the upcoming version will include it.
