How to record a Twitter / X live stream
Copy the public broadcast link from X, such as an x.com/i/broadcasts/ link, and paste it in Single link mode above. Choose an available recording quality, optionally preview the broadcast, and start recording. Select Stop & save when you have captured the part you want, then download the MP4.
Live recording uses an available source quality up to 480p, without re-encoding. Streams without a quality of 480p or lower cannot currently be recorded. Recording starts near the current live position. It does not retrieve the earlier part of a broadcast. Each recording stops at 30 minutes or 180 MiB, whichever comes first; a higher bitrate may reach the size limit sooner. A stream ending or becoming unavailable can also end recording.
Record a replay from the beginning
If a broadcast has ended and X still offers its replay, the same link shows a replay option. Recording then starts from the beginning of the replay instead of the live moment. Select Stop & save when you have what you need.
Do I need to keep the page open?
The server continues recording if you refresh or close the page. Return using the same browser and browser profile to recover your recording controls. Finished recordings are available for one hour. Download your file before it expires, or use Discard to remove it. A server restart can interrupt a recording or remove its temporary file.
Live recording currently supports accessible public X broadcasts. MP3 conversion and clipping apply to regular video posts, not live recordings. Capacity is limited: if the recorder is busy, try again later. YouTube live recording is not currently supported.
