# Recording start/stop audio tone

> Add an audible start and stop cue to a Squadcast Show.

In SquadCast, a visual cue indicates that a recording has started or stopped. However, you can enhance your experience by enabling an audio tone that plays when the recording starts and stops. This feature is available within the [Advanced Show Settings](/squadcast/shows) and will apply to all sessions for that Show.

SquadCast offers two distinct audio tones that will be audible to all session participants. Additionally, a Screen Reader option announces the recording's start and stop via screen reader alerts. This option is designed for those using screen readers and won't be heard by other participants.

## How to change the start/stop audio tone for a Show

1. Select the Show on the left side of the Dashboard.
2. In the top right corner, select the **Show Settings** button.
3. Under the Advanced Show Settings section, select the dropdown menu to the right of **Enable Recording Start/Stop Audio Tone**and select one of the options. For no sound when a recording starts or stops, select **None**.
4. Select the **Save Changes**button in the top right corner.
