Ominous green circle button appears in the file menu

Spotted in the latest studio update.

What is this circle?

Why has it chosen now to appear?

What secrets does it hold?

You can also see it in the top right of studio next to your username. Hovering over it tells you whether your connection is flaky or not.

It’s the resurrection of the 2010 Roblox click to walk icon.

So… It’s a connection status indicator?

I don’t see a real use case for this. You can’t even properly test local file games without an internet connection. Your character doesn’t move.

Well, that looks like a “-” button, so hopefully it cancels out the “+” button

This circle is a connection indicator, as @blobbyblob pointed out.

It’s chosen to appear because we ordered it to do so. Also, it only appears in Team Create.

It contains the secrets of whether or not Studio thinks you’re connected to the internet/Team Create server.

We’ll remove it from the File menu. That was an oversight, not intentional.

Out of interest, what does it look like when Studio is offline?

It turns orange when the connection is slower, and turns red if there is little to no connection.
