In the context of troubleshooting system messages, what does a "grayed out" record button indicate?

A "grayed out" record button typically signifies that there is no active test session available for the user to record within. This indicates that the system is not currently set up for recording, which may be due to the absence of a test session being initiated or the user not being allowed to start a new session.

In environments where recordings are tied to specific test sessions, various controls—including the record button—become unavailable until a valid session is in place. This design helps prevent users from attempting to perform actions that would not be possible or relevant outside of an active testing context. Thus, a "grayed out" button effectively communicates that the required conditions for recording are not met at this time.
