Recording TikTok lives without software

TikTok doesn’t keep live streams publicly once they end, so a live has to be recorded while it’s on air. Enter the creator’s username: we check whether they’re live, show the stream and let you record it in the quality you choose.

In Chrome and Edge on desktop, the recording is written straight to disk, so long streams are no problem. Other browsers keep the recording in memory until you stop it. To check a creator’s profile and stories first, use the Anonymous TikTok Viewer.

The recording is the stream itself — picture and sound — saved as it arrives, without re-encoding, which is why the file keeps the quality the creator is broadcasting. Live chat and gifts are not part of the video stream, so they are not in the file. Keep the tab open while you record.

Only record a live for your own use, such as keeping a stream you were in or watching later, and ask the creator before you share or re-upload it. A recording does not give you rights to the content.

TikTok LIVE downloader FAQ

Can I download a TikTok live that already ended?

No. TikTok doesn’t publish lives after they end, so they can only be recorded while they’re on air.

How do I record a TikTok live?

Enter the username, press Find live and, if they’re streaming, press Record live. Press Stop & save when you’re done.

What format is the recording?

FLV, the stream’s original format. It plays in VLC and converts to MP4 with any converter.

Is there a time limit?

Not in desktop Chrome and Edge. Other browsers hold the recording in memory, so shorter recordings are safer.

Can I record a TikTok live on iPhone or Android?

Yes, in the phone browser. Some browsers, including some on iPhone, cannot play the preview, but recording still works. Phones keep the recording in memory, so shorter streams are safer.

Does the recording include the live chat?

No. The file contains the video and sound of the stream. Comments and gifts shown over the stream in the app are not part of it.

How do I convert the recording to MP4?

The file is saved as FLV, the stream’s original format. Open it in VLC, or convert it to MP4 with any free converter such as HandBrake or FFmpeg.
