Circle icon in the right bottom corner of the screen in games.

How do I turn off this icon? There is also a microphone icon next to it when my Mic is plugged in.

I checked many settings but couldn't find where to turn it off. So very annoying.

    OskarKowalczukThis is the NVIDIA instant replay icon letting you know that their background process caching the last 5 minutes of your game (or whatever) is active. You can make it go away by turning off NVIDIA instant replay (I think the default key combination is Shift-Alt-F10). You can do more configuration in the NVIDIA overlay, or disable the overlay altogether by using the GeForce Experience application.

     

    Took me a while to figure it out; but wanted to post my results here for anyone else who might be confused like me.

      yuzu_drink You can disable these icons without disabling Instant Replay. Here's how:

      Access the GeForce Experience overlay (Alt+Z) and click the settings cog on the lower-right corner. From there, choose "HUD layout", then "Status indicator". Clicking "Off" will disable these icons without disabling Instant Replay.

       

      Once I understood this, I decided not to disable them because I like knowing whether or not Instant Replay is active.
