This issue will affect the core workflow of the GUI, so it's worth discussing if we want to implement this issue before schedule it.

Pros:

  • Fewer button clicks

Cons:

  • Users may already be used to the existing way of doing things and changing it could be disruptive
  • Having separate actions for starting the session and starting streaming makes it easier to understand where issue is if there's a problem with connection
  • Automatically starting streaming may create extra recordings that will have to be discarded if the experiment requires specific hardware settings
  • Application may appear to hang longer as it performs both the start session and start streaming actions at the same time.

Could be a setting that's toggled in the Control Panel, which can be persisted as a "GUI-wide" setting in the GUI settings class/saved file.
