# 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 ``` --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
