A major scene, and a fun one as any with a lot of mad Hamlet will be. After cursing himself for his inaction his next move is... to watch and wait. Did he ever really need confirmation of the murder or is he just delaying again? I'd say more than Claudius, his concern is on Gertrude's guilt, hence the focus on the player queen in what we saw of the play, and the direct interrogation for her response. There's a lot open to interpretation, which is fitting for this scene about interpretation. Nothing in the script gives a definitive answer, and much of it comes down to choices in the physical performance. Hamlet also spoils his plan somewhat, and to a particularly great degree in the 1980 adaptation I'm watching. Derek Jacobi's Hamlet is incredibly disruptive during the performance, and the king could reasonably have risen because of Hamlets antics rather than false fire. Patrick Stewart's Claudius calmly asks for light, and shines it on Hamlet's face with a disapproving shake of the head before leaving. It's very ambiguous, yet Hamlet is confident that his plan worked (Horatio's line is more ambiguous and dependent on delivery), which supports that he didn't actually need confirmation.

Also, the bit about the recorder is gold.
