How to Auto-Record any Twitch livestreamer
Set up a live downloader so every Twitch stream is saved to your library.
September 2, 2026
Twitch deletes past broadcasts after 7 days for most streamers, 14 days for Affiliates, and 60 days for Partners, Prime, and Turbo. AutoVOD.ai's live downloaders monitor a channel and record whenever it goes live, so the file is already in your Library.
Set up a Live Downloader
- Open Automation
- Add a live downloader with the streamer’s platform and username (Twitch, YouTube, Kick, or Rumble)
- Pick quality and container
- Optionally turn on Auto clip generation so highlight jobs start when the recording finishes
- Leave it enabled and wait
You'll get an in-app notification when a monitored channel goes live. When the stream ends, the recording uploads to cloud storage and shows up in Library. How many downloaders you can run at once depends on your plan
What to do when the file is ready?
- Skim the VOD with the Summarizer if you did not watch (guide)
- Run Clip Generator unless auto-clip already did (guide)
- Send the best clips through Shorts Creator for 9:16 and captions (Workflow)
- Schedule YouTube or TikTok uploads from Automation
Tips that keep the library usable
- Watch the channels you actually clip, not every raid target. Storage quotas are per tier
- Turn auto-clip on for your own stream; leave it off for VODs you only want as an archive
- Pair a live downloader with a one-off download when a VOD is about to expire and you do not want to wait for the next live
- Kick and Rumble work the same way as Twitch: username in, recording out
