# Optional recording components

If session recordings are not enabled for your account, you may optionally disable the recording pod and persistent volume requirements.

### Disable recording pods

The recording pods are responsible for converting stored sessions into video recordings, and are not a requirement if session recordings are disabled. To disable the recording pods, you can configure your value parameters to set the number of recording replicas to be `0`.

```yaml
# values.yml
recording:
  replicas: 0
```

### Disable persistent volume requirement

The persistent volume is responsible for persistent storage of past session recordings, and is not a requirement if session recordings are disabled. To disable the persistent volume requirement, you can configure your value parameters to set the `storage` parameter to `false`.

```yaml
# values.yaml
storage: false
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cobrowse.io/enterprise-self-hosting/helm/optional-recording-components.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
