Twitch specializes majorly in streaming live content but this is not to say it is impossible to download highlights and full broadcasts from YouTube. And that is why we’ve written this guide. In this article, we will explain how to download Twitch VOD videos.

How to Download Your Twitch Broadcasts

Twitch streamers can download their previous broadcasts from the Twitch website. Hanging on whether you are a frequent user, Twitch Affiliate, or Twitch Partner, your window for downloading previous broadcasts varies between 14 to 60 days after the initial stream. After this, the video will auto-delete.

Enable Auto-Archiving

Twitch can automatically save your broadcasts with a few simple steps:
  • Log on to the Twitch website and select the drop-down menu in the upper-right corner and select Settings.

Downloading Other People’s Streams

Although Twitch doesn’t currently extend the option to download, you can ask the streamer to send you a personal copy or use a third-party app for downloads.
One of such apps is the Twitch Leecher. It is highly recommended by various users. Download and install the file onto your PC, then start the app. To download a selected highlight or video, you’ll either enter a channel name and date, enter a URL, or a video ID (which are often found within the URL).
Note: You should simply ask the streamer for permission before downloading anything, and again ask if you would like to upload the videos (perhaps if you’re a Mod and need to manage a YouTube channel). Refrain from downloading any person’s content without their prior knowledge.
Below is how to install Twitch Leecher and the way to use it to download Twitch VODs.
Note:You cannot download Sub-Only videos with Twitch Leecher.
  • Log on to the official Twitch Leecher page on GitHub to get the latest version of the program.
