How to save a TikTok Live recording
- 1
Wait until the stream ends
An ongoing live stream cannot be saved as a file — it's a stream with no defined end, not a finished MP4. The recording becomes available only after the creator ends the broadcast and TikTok publishes it to their profile or feed.

Find the recording link
TikTok keeps Live recordings for varying lengths of time — usually 24 hours to several days, depending on the creator's settings. Open their profile → LIVE tab (if they save streams) or search their regular feed.

Copy the URL and paste it into the form
Once a live stream ends, the recording behaves like a normal TikTok video: it has a share menu, a URL like tiktok.com/@user/video/…, and works with the same tools. Paste that URL above.

Hit "Download"
You get an MP4 of the recording. Long streams (an hour or more) produce large files — easily a few hundred MB. Quality matches the broadcast, same as any other TikTok video download.
What to know about lives
Finished streams only
A live in progress is a continuous stream — you cannot "download" it as a file. A saved recording, on the other hand, downloads identically to any other video.
Full length
If the stream ran 2 hours — you get 2 hours. No trimming, no "best of" compilation. The recording is exactly what the creator saved.
No TikTok login required
No tokens, no auth. Any public saved stream downloads through the URL — same as the <a href="/en/no-watermark/">no-watermark flow for regular videos</a>. Audio extraction also works via the <a href="/en/mp3/">MP3 page</a>.
Common questions about TikTok Live
Can I download a live that's happening right now?
Not as a file. A live in progress is an HLS stream with no end marker. You can record your screen (iPhone Control Center → Screen Recording, Mac Cmd+Shift+5, OBS on PC), but you can't "download via URL" mid-stream.
Where do I find the recording of a finished stream?
Some creators have a LIVE tab on their profile with saved broadcasts. Others post lives as regular videos in their feed. If neither — the creator chose not to save it, and the recording is gone.
How long does TikTok keep Live recordings?
By default a few days. Creators can choose to keep them permanently, in which case they stay on the profile. If the creator didn't save — the recording vanishes.
Will the chat be saved too?
No, we save only the video and audio — no chat overlay, no gifts, no donation animations. If you want the chat, you need a screenshot or a screen recording.
Will the file be huge?
Yes, an hour at 720p is roughly 300-500MB; two hours can hit a gigabyte. For long streams, use the PC version where you have disk space and time to let the download finish.
Is the quality lower than regular videos?
Lives usually stream at 720p, sometimes 1080p — depends on the creator's device and connection. The saved recording matches the broadcast quality exactly.
What about private lives or 18+ streams?
Private lives and follower-only/18+ streams need TikTok authentication, which we don't have. Same restriction as private regular videos.
Can I extract just the audio?
Yes, paste the same URL into the MP3 page — you'll get an M4A of the stream's audio. Useful for interviews, music sets, or educational streams you want as a podcast.
Downloading only works for streams the creator chose to save publicly — that's their decision; we just help save a personal copy. No private feeds, no auth bypass, no unauthorized access.
