    if not recording_data or not recording_data.get('video'):
        return None
    
    try:
        video_info = recording_data['video']
        # Return the video path that can be used by the Video component

### User function

The impact on the users predict function varies depending on whether the component is used as an input or output for an event (or both).

- When used as an Input, the component only impacts the input signature of the user function.
- When used as an output, the component only impacts the return signature of the user function.

The code snippet below is accurate in cases where the component is used as both an input and an output.



 ```python
 def predict(
     value: typing.Optional[
    gradio_screenrecorder.screenrecorder.ScreenRecorderData
][ScreenRecorderData, None]
 ) -> Unknown:
     return value
 ```
 

## `ScreenRecorderData`
```python
class ScreenRecorderData(GradioModel):
    video: Optional[FileData] = None
    duration: Optional[float] = None
    audio_enabled: bool = True
    status: Literal["recording", "stopped", "error"] = (
        "stopped"
    )

    class Config:
        json_encoders = {
            FileData: lambda v: v.model_dump()
            if v
            else None
        }
```
