Usually, when you share a live stream, the content vanishes once it concludes. However, you can enable Twitch to save your previous live streams and compile them into a list as "Video On Demand" or VOD (Video on Demand). Once this setting is activated, you can mark the desired live streams and save them to your channel permanently. Today, Mytour will guide you on how to save Twitch live streams as VODs and Highlights.
Steps
Save live stream
Visit https://www.twitch.tv/ using a web browser. Apps do not support this feature, so you need to use the website.
- Log in if prompted.
Click on the profile icon located at the top right corner of the page.
Click on Creator Dashboard (Creator Dashboard). This is the first group of menu options, which includes Video Producer and Channel.
Click on the Channel tab at the bottom of the left-hand menu. This option is located under the "Settings" heading.
- The next live stream will be saved for up to 14 days if you are a regular Twitch user. For affiliates, partners, Prime, or Turbo users, the live stream will be saved for 60 days.
Save live stream as a Highlight
Visit https://www.twitch.tv/ using a web browser. You need to enable Twitch and archive the previous dashboard first to complete this step; if you haven't done so, you can follow the earlier method to activate the process of archiving the used dashboard. When highlighting a previous dashboard, the content will be saved in the Highlights section permanently. You can mark all videos if you wish to save every video on Twitch.
