How to Download a Live Stream: YouTube Live, Twitch and Kick After the Broadcast
Download a YouTube live stream, Twitch broadcast or Kick stream after it ends: where to find the recording, long streams and file size, saving only the audio of a talk.
Kick keeps clips and stream recordings inside the platform — viewers get no “Download” button. Skachok saves Kick clips and VODs as MP4 from a link: free, with no sign-up or software.
For example: https://kick.com/xqc/clips/…
Open the clip on kick.com and click “Share” → “Copy link”, or copy the address from the browser bar: kick.com/streamer/clips/clip_…. For a stream recording, open the Videos tab on the channel, pick the recording and copy its address.
Tip: In the Kick app, copy the link via the “Share” icon under the player. A link to the whole channel (kick.com/streamer) won't work — you need a specific clip or video.
Paste the link into the field on the home page and click “Find”. You get a preview and a list of qualities — usually 360p, 480p, 720p and 1080p, the same as the stream — plus an MP3 option.
Tip: A VOD several hours long weighs gigabytes. On Free the file size is capped at 5 GB, on Lite — 15 GB, Pro — 30 GB, Max — no limit.
Pick a quality and click “Download”. A clip downloads right away; a VOD is first assembled on the server (watch the progress), then the file is sent to you. Without an account — up to 720p; 1080p is available on Lite and above.
Tip: On Free the file is served at about 1 MB/s — for multi-hour VODs, Lite (3 MB/s) or Pro (5 MB/s) pays off.
Kick is growing fast, but it offers viewers few tools — stream recordings don't last long, and clips can't be taken outside the site.
Any of these links will do — the full one from the browser or the short one from the app’s Share button.

The file lands in Files → Downloads; for your gallery, open it and choose “Share” → “Save Video”.
In Chrome the MP4 is saved to the Downloads folder and shows up in your gallery. A multi-hour VOD is best downloaded over Wi-Fi.
No. Wait for the broadcast to end — if the streamer hasn't disabled recordings, the VOD appears in the Videos tab and can be downloaded from its link.
The same as the broadcast — usually up to 1080p. Without a Skachok account you get up to 720p; 1080p starts on the Lite plan.
No, Kick doesn't put a logo on clips or recordings — the file is clean.
No, only public videos that open without signing in to Kick.
Yes — MP3 in the “Audio” block, handy for talk streams and podcasts.
Right now we serve the whole recording. Download the VOD and trim the part you need in any video editor, or create a clip with Kick's own tools and download that.
