Twitch is one of the world’s most popular video streaming platforms, concentrating on video games and e-sports. It provides both live stream and saved broadcast (VOD) for users to enjoy. Unfortunately, VODs saved by regular broadcasters will be deleted after 14 days, while those of Twitch Partners, Prime and Twitch Turbo will be gone in 60 days. If you have enjoyed a good stream and want to watch it again, how can you do so? This article will teach you two methods to Save Twitch replays.

For creators, it is possible to automatically save their broadcasts by turning them into VODs or Highlights. This will help you repurpose your past content for other purposes, such as creating highlight reels or analyzing gameplay. You can enable automatic archiving in the Stream Settings on the Creator Dashboard by toggling the “Store Past Broadcasts as VODs” option on.

To download a VOD, you can use the Twitch website or a third-party application. If you choose to use the website, you must have an OAuth token, which can be obtained by adding a cookie management tool like EditThisCookie or Cookie Quick Manager to your browser. Once you have your OAuth token, copy and paste it into the URL box in the middle of the screen to download the video.

Alternatively, you can use a third-party application, such as EaseUS Video Downloader. This application allows you to add multiple video URLs in batch, and supports many different formats. It will then convert the video into your desired format and download it to a folder on your computer. EaseUS Video Downloader is free for personal use and is available on both Windows and Mac.

Another way to find a VOD is to reach out to the community that you are part of. Many fans and streamers will post highlights or memorable moments from previous streams on Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, etc. Search for the streamer’s username or specific keywords to increase your chances of finding a particular stream.

If you’re an active streamer, make sure to back up your broadcasts by recording them on your PC using software such as NVIDIA Shadowplay or Open Broadcast Software. It’s also a good idea to have Twitch auto-publish your VODs as Highlights after they finish processing. By doing so, you can ensure that your most valuable streams will remain online forever.
