You might not be satisfied with only streaming and recording and want to take that up a notch and download these vods for future use. There are easy ways to record, download, and watch your streaming recordings that will be covered in this article.

How to Record Twitch Streams

As far as streaming recording goes, Twitch opens the floor for this. You can record online videos of your broadcast and they will be saved for you.

You need to ensure you have this storage feature permitted in the settings. To do this, head to the Settings section on your Twitch.tv profile, unwrap the Streams menu, and click on VODS settings, here you will find the Store past broadcast option which you have to make sure is turned on. With that, your broadcasts will be saved as you make them.

There are stream recorders available online like the Eklipse.gg that use AI to break down your streams and create multiple significant sections of the videos, but Twitch stream recording is usually very satisfactory.

How to Download Twitch Stream

One thing the availability of your streaming records provides is that you can gain access to their url. The url is the key to downloading Twitch vods. All you need to do is to input this url into the many web-based tools online and you have your video ready for download.

These tools have different specifications and features that differentiate them. Some are device-specific. With some, you can make bulk downloads and get your streaming recordings in high quality. With others, you can trim or even edit the videos before downloading them onto your device.

Here are examples of some of the best Twitch vod downloader tools available online;

Some of these tools double as recording tools, a good example is Streamrecorder which is both a stream recorder and a Twitch vods downloader.

How to Watch Twitch Vods

Watching Twitch vods is pretty easy. All you have to do is watch. By using any of the downloaders listed above, your recorded stream will be saved on your device for access anytime you want. This way you can rewatch, show friends, and share it on social media platforms like your TikTok page or YouTube channel.

Obviously, another way to watch your streaming recordings is to go back and watch them on your Twitch where they are stored once you have the settings on. This is an option, but it definitely doesn’t beat having the video on you wherever you are.
