Twitch is a popular online streaming service that allows users to broadcast live video of themselves playing games, creating art, or engaging in other activities and share it with viewers worldwide. It also offers a feature that saves past broadcasts (called VOD or video on demand) to allow users to watch them after the Save Twitch replays ends. While it’s not possible to download other people’s VODs, you can save your own videos with a tool like Cisdem Video Converter or by following the steps in this article. You’ll need an OAuth token to do this, but you can get it easily by using a cookie manager extension on your browser (such as EditThisCookie on Chrome or Cookie Quick Manager on Firefox). Once you have the token, navigate to the VOD you want to download and click the three-dot button beside it. Choose “Download” to start the download.

Depending on your account type, you can keep past broadcasts as VODs for up to 14 days or 60 days if you’re a partner, Turbo, or Prime user. If you want to keep a VOD longer, you can turn it into a highlight, which will remain on your channel forever and can be edited.

To save your own video on Twitch, log into your profile and go to the Creator Dashboard. From there, select the Content section and then head to Video Producer. Find the video you wish to save and click the three-dot button on its right side. Then, select “Download” to start the process. It may take a while to download your video, especially if it’s very long. Once it’s finished, you can find it in your folder as an.MP4 file.

Unlike VODs, highlights won’t expire and can be edited to cut out unnecessary parts of the video. You can access your highlights from the Content section of your Creator Dashboard, which you can reach by clicking your profile icon on the top-right corner of the screen and selecting Creator Dashboard from the drop-down menu. Once there, scroll down to the VOD Settings and toggle “Store past broadcasts” on to enable archiving.

While it’s not official, you can use a few websites that claim to let you download twitch replays and highlight videos. However, it’s important to note that these tools may violate Twitch’s terms of service and could lead to your account being suspended or deleted. Additionally, most of these services don’t work well and have lots of bugs and other issues. Therefore, it’s best to use a trustworthy program or tool instead of these unofficial ones. It’s also important to remember that these sites are not regulated, so the quality of their service can vary greatly. For example, some of them may only provide a small clip of the video and others may not even be available at all. In addition, they may be illegal to use in some jurisdictions. Therefore, it’s better to follow the instructions in this article to save your own streams and highlight videos.
