The Save Twitch replays feature allows users to download high-quality videos that are available on the site. This is especially useful for users who have been unable to attend live broadcasts or missed a particular stream and want to watch it again later. The feature works by using a browser extension to download the video from the server. It also supports multiple output formats and customizable file names.
To download a VOD, first navigate to the desired broadcast and click the three-dot menu icon next to it. Then, select “Download this VOD”. A window will appear asking you to choose a quality and a destination folder. Once you’ve done that, click the green “Download” button to begin downloading the video. It may take a while to complete, depending on the length of the video and your internet connection speed.
How to Save Your Own Twitch Replays
To save your own twitch replays, you will need to enable the feature in your stream settings. Once you do that, you will be able to see all past broadcasts on your channel as VODs. These will be available for seven to 60 days, depending on your account type. You can also turn a VOD into a highlight, which will be kept on your channel forever.
You can enable VOD archiving by clicking your profile picture and selecting the Video Producer option. Alternatively, you can go to the Creator Dashboard and head to Content > Video Producer.
In Video Producer, you will be able to view and manage your VODs and highlights. You can also edit the titles, descriptions, tags, and language of these videos. You will also be able to change the start and end time of each highlight. When you are done editing, you can then click the Publish Highlights button. This will take a few minutes to finish processing. While the video is processing, you can change its category, permission, and tags if you wish.
How to Download Others’ Twitch Replays
If you want to download another person’s Twitch replay, you will need to use a third-party application. This way, you can save their broadcasts as mp4 files on your computer. There are a few different apps you can use to do this, including Clipr and 4K Video Downloader+. However, you should keep in mind that downloading someone else’s Twitch replay can lead to copyright issues.
Once you’ve got a tool installed, follow the instructions in the app to log in and get started. Once you’re logged in, you can select the video you want to download and then click the download button. The software will download the video in parts, and then fuse them together when it’s finished. You can control how many download threads you want to use, which will affect your CPU and bandwidth usage.
While you can use this method to download any video on Twitch, it is important to note that this does not work for all types of content. For example, it is not possible to download a highlight or a live stream.
