(I'm not familiar with > any code it might appear in, sorry.) Variable, thanks, now I got it! (defun screen-record-switch () (interactive) (cond ((and (process-live-p video-recording-process) (buffer-live-p (get-buffer video-recording-buffer))) (switch-to-buffer video-recording-buffer)) (t (rcd-message "There is no recording available.")))) video-recording-buffer ➜ "*Screen Recording*" It is of course a bit confusing, some functions accept BUFFER-OR-NAME 🤔 and some only OBJECT 📝. Now I got it, thanks much! Solved! 😊 -- Jean Louis
