Variable, thanks, now I got it!

(defun screen-record-switch ()
  (interactive)
  (cond ((and (process-live-p video-recording-process)
              (buffer-live-p (get-buffer video-recording-buffer)))
         (switch-to-buffer video-recording-buffer))
        (t (rcd-message "There is no recording available."))))

video-recording-buffer ➜ "*Screen Recording*"

It is of course a bit confusing, some functions accept BUFFER-OR-NAME 🤔
and some only OBJECT 📝.

Now I got it, thanks much! Solved! 😊
