How to Record a Live Stream

  1. Copy the live link

    Open the broadcast you want to save and copy its public URL. The stream must be live when the recording starts.

  2. Use the right recording path

    Paste a TikTok LIVE link above to record online. Selected Kick links may also work; Twitch, YouTube and X require the macOS desktop app.

  3. Save the MP4

    Cloud recordings appear in My Recordings when they finish. Desktop recordings are saved directly to your computer.

Already ended? A recorder cannot go back and retrieve a broadcast that the platform no longer provides. If you often miss a creator, creator monitoring (one creator free, more on Pro and Studio) can start the next one automatically.

Which Platforms Can You Record?

Record TikTok LIVE directly on this page. Some Kick broadcasts also work, but not every Kick link is supported. Twitch, YouTube Live and X require the desktop app.

Live stream recorder vs screen recorder vs OBS

Use a live stream recorder for a broadcast you are watching, a screen recorder for a short clip, and OBS when you are producing your own stream.

Save a broadcast you watch

Use this live recorder. It saves the platform media instead of everything visible on your display, so notifications, cursor movement and chat overlays are not baked into the video.

Best fit: full broadcasts and clean MP4 files

Capture a quick moment

Use your device's screen recorder when you need a short clip immediately. It is easy, but long sessions keep the device busy and can include interruptions or on-screen UI.

Best fit: a short clip where convenience matters most

Record your own production

Use OBS Studio when you are the broadcaster and need scenes, sources and local production controls. OBS is free and open source, but it is a different workflow from saving a public live link.

Best fit: creators producing their own stream

What If the Stream Stops or You Close the Tab?

TikTok cloud recordings keep running after you leave the page. The answers below cover a dropped stream, hitting your simultaneous-recording limit and broadcasts that have already ended.

The tab closes after recording starts

TikTok LIVE recordings continue on our servers. You can return later and check My Recordings. Desktop sessions depend on the Mac remaining awake.

The creator briefly goes offline

Temporary drops are retried. If the platform stops providing the source, the saved file can only contain the media that was actually available.

You already have the maximum recordings running

The free plan runs one cloud recording at a time, Pro up to three and Studio up to six. The next link can be started as soon as one finishes; the recorder shows the current limit before you submit it.

The broadcast has already ended

Past video cannot be reconstructed from the live link. Look for a replay published by the creator, or add the creator to monitoring (one creator on Free, more on Pro and Studio) so the next broadcast starts recording while it is live.

Live Stream Recorder: Common Questions

Can you record a live stream?

Yes, while the broadcast is live. Paste a TikTok LIVE link into the online recorder, or use the macOS app for other supported platforms. Start before the stream ends: this tool cannot recover a broadcast that has already finished unless the platform or creator published a replay.

Can I record a live stream without downloading software?

Yes for TikTok LIVE. The recording runs on our cloud servers, so you can close the tab or lock your phone after it starts. Some Kick links are supported on a limited basis; Twitch, YouTube and X currently use the desktop app.

Is this live stream recorder free?

You can try it free: sign in with Google or email (no card) for 2 cloud recordings a day, up to 20 minutes each. Free also auto-records one creator; Pro ($79/year) and Studio ($159/year) add longer recordings, more monthly hours and auto-record for up to 5 or 20 creators — see the pricing page. The recorder shows your remaining allowance before you start.

Will the video keep its original quality?

The recorder saves the video supplied by the platform instead of filming your screen. That avoids an extra round of compression and keeps the available source resolution and bitrate. Final quality still depends on what the creator broadcasts and what the platform provides.

Can I record more than one stream at a time?

Yes, on a paid plan. The free plan records one stream at a time; Pro runs up to 3 recordings at once and Studio up to 6. When you hit your limit, you can start another as soon as one finishes. The app shows this limit before you submit the next link.

What happens if the stream disconnects?

The recorder retries short interruptions. If the platform stops sending video, that missing part cannot be recorded. You can check the current status in My Recordings.

Is it legal to save a live broadcast?

Record your own broadcasts or content you have permission to save. Copyright, privacy rules and platform terms can vary by content and location. Do not republish or monetize someone else’s recording without the necessary rights.
