Option to automatically stop recording after a period of time

[EternalAceGames]

Okay possibly the greatest example is when you record a game, 2 hours later, you forget you're recording but put your PC to sleep, OBS stays running in the background, right?

I'm not entirely sure if that's what it does but I did this on my HP Laptop and 7 hours later i'd had a video worth half a gigabyte.

Check Tools -> Output timer

Do not see tools anywhere in the OBS app. I would like to be able to start and stop desktop screen capture at specific times.
Never mind. Discovered I had an older version of OBS. Will investigate the current one.

I don't see it either. I'm using streamlabs 1.1.2

Similar request is to be able to stop recording as soon as a source (Window Capture) is stopped. and there is no active source of (video) input.

I use OBS to record zoom calls. and I have many along the day. Preferably it records into separate files every time I start and stop a zoom call. (or microsoft team, webex, etc etc.)
