Step 02
We record the TikTok LIVE in the cloud
Our servers capture the stream in original quality. Close the tab or lock your phone — it keeps going.
Step 03
Download the MP4
When the live ends, the file appears right on the page — download it to your phone or an editor.
Why TokLiveRecorder
Everything a TikTok live recorder should do
A TikTok LIVE is gone the second it ends. Here's why this beats the workarounds.
Save a TikTok LIVE before it's gone
TikTok doesn't save live streams for viewers, and a creator's own replay expires in 30 days. Recording the LIVE as it happens is the only reliable way to save it and watch it after it ends.
Cleaner than screen recording a TikTok LIVE
No tied-up phone, no drained battery, no comments or gift banners burned into the video, and no re-encoding of your screen. We capture the stream source itself — a clean, full-quality MP4.
Records in the cloud, unattended
Once it starts, the recording lives on our servers. Close the tab, lose signal or put the phone down — you won't miss the rest of the stream. See how to auto record TikTok live.
A free TikTok live recorder, no account to start
Your first 5 recordings need no sign-up, no card, no app. Sign in only when you want 5 a day and a saved library with email alerts.

Cloud recording vs. screen recording a TikTok LIVE
The usual way people try to keep a TikTok LIVE is to screen record it on their phone — but that ties the phone up for the whole stream and bakes every comment, gift and banner into the video. Recording in the cloud is the alternative: you record a TikTok live online, our servers capture the stream itself, and you walk away. Here's how the two compare — or read the full breakdown of whether you can screen record a TikTok LIVE.
| Feature | Cloud recording (this page) | Phone screen recording | Open-source script |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | None — paste a link | Built into your phone | Python, FFmpeg, terminal |
| Ties up your phone while recording | No — it runs in the cloud | Yes, the whole stream | No (runs on a computer) |
| Comments & banners in the video | No — clean stream | Yes, burned in | No |
| Quality | Original stream quality | Your screen's resolution, re-encoded | Original |
| Keeps going if you lock the phone | Yes — until the live ends | No — it stops | Yes, while the script runs |
| Works with no app, fully offline | Needs this site (no app to install) | Yes — saved straight to your gallery | No |
Honest by design — screen recording still wins on "no app / fully offline." Recording on a computer instead, or need Twitch, YouTube, Kick or X? The free desktop app does that too — and the open-source recorders are genuinely good if you're happy in a terminal.

TikTok live recorder FAQ
How do I record a TikTok LIVE stream? +
Copy the link of a livestream that is running right now, paste it into the box on this page and press record — no sign-up needed for your first recordings. Our servers record the stream in its original quality while you do something else, and the finished MP4 appears right here on the page for you to download. Nothing to install, and it works the same on a phone.
Where do TikTok LIVE videos go after the stream ends? +
They disappear. TikTok does not publish replays for viewers — only the creator can access their own replay, and even that expires after 30 days. That's why the only reliable way to keep a livestream is to record it while it's happening.
Do I have to keep the page open while it records? +
No. Once a cloud recording starts it runs on our servers, so you can close the tab, lock your phone or lose signal and it keeps going until the stream ends or you stop it. Come back to My Recordings later to download the file. The desktop app works differently — it records on your own machine, so that computer does need to stay on.
Is there a free TikTok live recorder? +
Yes — this is a free TikTok live recorder, and your first 5 recordings need no account at all: no sign-up, no card. Each can run up to 2 hours. Sign in with Google when you want 5 recordings a day and a saved library, with an email the moment each one is ready. Recordings are kept for 7 days so you can download them.
Can you screen record a TikTok LIVE instead? +
You can, but it is the hard way. Screen recording ties up your phone for the whole stream, drains the battery, and bakes in the comments, gifts and notification banners — and it re-encodes whatever your screen shows rather than the original video. Because this recorder captures the stream source itself in the cloud, you get a clean original-quality MP4 with none of that, and you do not have to sit and watch it record.
Is there a TikTok live recorder APK, iPhone app or browser extension? +
You do not need one. Open this page in your phone browser, paste the LIVE link and the recording runs on our servers — so there is no APK to sideload, no extension to break and no app to install on iPhone or Android. That also means your phone is not tied up and the battery is not drained while the stream records.
Can I record my own TikTok LIVE broadcasts? +
Yes — that's exactly what TokLiveRecorder is built for: creators archiving their own broadcasts, teams recording channels they manage, and anyone capturing streams they have permission to save. You're responsible for having the rights to record a stream and for complying with platform terms.
Which platforms can it record besides TikTok? +
Online recording covers TikTok and Kick LIVE today. The desktop app additionally records Twitch, YouTube live streams and X (Twitter) broadcasts — paste a link from any of them — and can capture any application window on your computer.
What quality and format are the recordings? +
Recordings are saved as MP4 at the original stream quality — whatever resolution the creator is broadcasting, up to full HD and beyond — with no re-compression and no watermark. Because we capture the stream itself rather than your screen, there are no comments or notification banners burned into the video.
