Why is there no "Stop" button on QuickTime screen record?

hi, I am facing an issue in my new MacBook Air. I can start the screen record on QuickTime, but there seems to be no stop button. I have to either restart or shutdown to stop the recording. Is this the way it should work?

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

The stop button should appear in the menu bar (top of the screen). It's a circle containing a stop icon.
