I heard on a session at MasterClass 2022 that using Virtual machine technology would make sense if using ClickLearn for Automated Process Testing. Is that also the case even when replaying short recordings?

Using virtual computing, or VM technology with ClickLearn is advantageous for a number of reasons. For example, when replaying on a VM client, you can still use your host computer to run other applications. If you record with ClickLearn on the VM client, you also get the advantage of not having to suppress any notifications, clean-up up your desktop and browsers before recording. For localization tasks you could also more easily work with changing the Microsoft Windows UI to target languages, without disrupting your work on your host computer.
