Thinking of screen recording instead? Here is how screen recording compares to cloud recording.
Auto-record
Auto-record a TikTok LIVE the moment it starts
Add a creator once. We record every LIVE they start, even at 3 a.m., and email you the MP4.
-
1. Add a TikTok creator
Paste their link or @username. If they are offline right now, tap Auto-record their next LIVE.
-
2. We check every few minutes
As soon as they go live, a cloud recording starts on its own — your phone can be off.
-
3. Get an email with the MP4
When the LIVE ends, the file is waiting in My Recordings and we email you a download link.
The Free plan auto-records one creator; Pro covers up to 5 and Studio up to 20. In the first two weeks of October 2026 our servers auto-recorded 465 TikTok LIVEs for users who weren't watching.
Download
Download TikTok LIVE recordings as MP4
A TikTok live downloader that records while the LIVE is on: full MP4 in original quality, no watermark, ready seconds after you stop.
- Original stream quality. The MP4 is the stream TikTok serves — no watermark, no comments or gift banners from a viewing screen.
- About 1.1 GB per hour. That was the average across 900 recordings in early October 2026; most landed between 1 and 1.5 GB per hour.
- Ready in seconds. After you press stop, the file was ready to download in about 6 seconds on average.
- Kept for you. Recordings stay downloadable for 3 days on Free, 7 on Pro and 30 on Studio.
One thing no downloader can do: save a LIVE that has already ended. If you missed it, see whether a TikTok LIVE replay exists, and set up auto-record so the next one is captured.

Why a TikTok LIVE won't record
In October 2026, 97% of recordings succeeded when the creator was live. If one fails, it's usually one of these:
The creator isn't live
About a quarter of all attempts were links to creators who weren't streaming at that moment. Nothing is recorded and it doesn't use your free recordings — turn on auto-record to catch their next LIVE.
The username is wrong
A typo or a changed handle means there is no account to record. Copy the link from the LIVE itself instead of typing the name.
The LIVE already ended
A recording starts from the moment you press record — it can't go back to the part you missed, and a finished LIVE can't be downloaded afterwards.
The stream is private or region-locked
Rare, but some LIVEs aren't reachable from our servers. The free desktop app records on your own computer and can often capture them.

TikTok live recorder FAQ
How do I record a TikTok LIVE stream?
Copy the link of a TikTok LIVE that is on right now, paste it into the box at the top of this page and press record. Our servers capture the stream in its original quality while you do something else, and the finished MP4 appears on the page (and in My Recordings) for you to download. Nothing to install, and it works in any browser on iPhone, Android or a computer.
Can I download a TikTok LIVE that has already ended?
No. A LIVE can only be saved while it is still on air — no recorder or downloader can pull back a broadcast it did not capture. TikTok keeps a replay only for the creator, in LIVE Center, for about 30 days. If you want a LIVE, start recording while it runs, or set up auto-record so the next one is captured for you.
How can I automatically record TikTok live streams?
Turn on auto-record for a creator. We check every few minutes whether they are live, start recording as soon as they are, and email you when the MP4 is ready. The Free plan auto-records one creator (recordings follow the free 20-minute limit and count toward your 2 a day); Pro covers up to 5 creators and Studio up to 20.
Is TikTok LIVE automatically recorded?
Only for the creator: TikTok keeps a replay of their own broadcast in LIVE Center for about 30 days, and only they can see it. Viewers get no copy at all, so if you want to keep a LIVE you have to record it while it is happening.
Can you record a TikTok LIVE without the creator knowing?
Our recorder does not sign in to a TikTok account, comment, follow or send gifts — it only reads the public stream, so nothing is posted to the creator from our side. That does not change your responsibility: only record streams you have the right to save, and do not re-upload other people's content.
Is it legal to record a TikTok LIVE?
It depends on where you live and what you do with the file. Recording your own broadcasts, streams you manage, or streams you have permission to save is the safe case. Re-publishing someone else's LIVE without permission can infringe their rights and TikTok's terms. See our Copyright & DMCA policy for how we handle takedown requests.
Is there a free TikTok live recorder?
Yes — you can try this TikTok live recorder free. Sign in with Google or email (no card) for 2 cloud recordings a day, up to 20 minutes each, plus auto-record for one creator and an email when each recording is ready. Pro ($9.99/month) records up to 3 hours per recording and Studio up to 6 hours. Recordings are kept for 3 days on Free, 7 on Pro and 30 on Studio.
Is there a TikTok live recorder APK, iPhone app or browser extension?
You do not need one. Open this page in any browser, paste the LIVE link and the recording runs on our servers — no APK to sideload, no extension to break and no app to install on iPhone or Android. Your phone is not tied up and the battery is not drained while the stream records.
Which platforms can it record besides TikTok?
Online recording covers TikTok and Kick LIVE today. The desktop app for Windows and Mac additionally records Twitch, YouTube live streams and X (Twitter) broadcasts.
