What is a yellow frame around The Sims 4 screen mean?

I am currently in build mode,  while I was trying to type "shelves" into the search bar, I must have somehow hit a button combination that triggered a yellow boarder around my screen...I am not sure ...

@PugLove888I figured it must be video recording, but seeing as I was in build mode I didn't have the usual way to check. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I believe it caught me while I fussed with the roof. 😂

(Or it might have been while I was trying to get the basement stairs in beneath the other stairs.)

@Wholesome_Goth , Probably! 😂
Well, if it ever happens again in Build & Buy Mode, just hit "V" on your keyboard and it should stop it! 😉

    @PugLove888 Hopefully the next time I am typing in the search box for an item in B/B, I'll actually be typing in the searchbox and the accidental recording won't happen again. 😂

    I have never been able to actually watch any of the Sims 4 recordings...

      @Wholesome_Goth , I've never watched my recordings either, since I usually just want photos anyway.🙃  But I'm sure someone here knows how to find and watch them! 😉

        @PugLove888 Sims 3 I don't think I ever had an issue with playing the rare video I recorded just to see what happens when I stepped away unpaused. But for some reason Sims 4 always gives me an error message when I open the video. 🤷🏼‍♀️
