How it works
How to Record a TikTok Live Online
Paste, walk away, download. The recording runs in the cloud, so it works the same on a phone or a PC and you don't have to keep the page open.
Step 01
Paste the LIVE link
Copy the link from a TikTok LIVE that's on right now and drop it in the box above. Check your available allowance, then start recording.
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
After recording and processing finish, download the full file. Complete the browser's save prompt and open the saved video to check it.
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 runs on our servers. Close the tab or lock the screen — it keeps recording until the stream ends, you stop it or your plan's per-recording limit is reached (20 minutes free, up to 6 hours on paid plans).
Start free, upgrade when you need more
Sign in with Google or email — no card, no app — for 2 free recordings a day and a saved library with email alerts. Pro and Studio add longer recordings and auto-record for more creators.

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 — up to your plan's limit (20 min free, up to 6h paid) | 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 — sign in with Google or email and you get 2 free recordings a day. 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 in any browser.
Where do TikTok LIVE videos go after the stream ends? +
Creators can check their own LIVE replay options in TikTok. Viewers may find a replay the creator has shared or a copy recorded earlier. This tool cannot recover a past broadcast that it did not capture just from its live link. Start while the live is running to save the portion that follows.
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 or lock your phone. Recording ends when you stop it, the stream ends, your recording limit is reached or the stream becomes unavailable. Come back to My Recordings to download the file after processing. The desktop app records on your own machine, so that computer needs to stay on.
Is there a free TikTok live recorder? +
Yes — you can try this TikTok live recorder free. Sign in with Google or email (no card) and you get 2 cloud recordings a day, up to 20 minutes each, plus auto-record for one creator, a saved library and an email the moment each one is ready. For full-length lives and auto-record for more creators, Pro ($79/year) 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 so you can download them.
Can you screen record a TikTok LIVE instead? +
Yes. Screen recording is useful if you want visible comments and reactions along with the live. Keep playback and screen capture running, and test the audio first. Cloud recording captures the broadcast stream rather than your viewing interface; text already embedded in the broadcast remains. Choose the method that captures what you want to keep.
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 — 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? +
The full recording is an MP4 at the captured source quality; resolution depends on the stream available to the recorder. The short web preview is optimized for playback and is not the full-quality download. We do not add your viewing interface or notification banners, but graphics already inside the broadcast remain.
