Faster than ever — and your recordings now last twice as long ✨

3 days ago

It's been quiet here on the announcements page — but far from quiet behind the scenes. The last few weeks went into the kind of work you don't always see: making everything faster, keeping your recordings longer, and personally answering every single email that reached me. Here's what changed.


⚡ I moved everything to a much faster server

I rebuilt everything on a brand-new dedicated server — 4× the processing power and 6× the memory of the old one. The previous machine was constantly maxed out, and that's exactly what made pages feel slow and videos take a moment to start.


🗓️ Your recordings now stay for 60 days

I've doubled how long your streams stay available — from 30 days to 60. Every new recording from now on stays available for a full two months.


⚙️ Faster dashboards and a lot of quiet fixes

Beyond the big move, I spent the month smoothing rough edges: quicker-loading dashboards, translation fixes across every language, and a steady stream of bug fixes — most of them straight from what you reported to me.


💬 I read — and reply to — every email

I answer every message personally. If you wrote to me, you got a real reply — from me. Your reports and requests genuinely shape what I build next.


🙏 Thank you for sticking with me

None of this happens without you. As long as you keep supporting the platform, I'll keep improving it — faster, more reliable, and more useful, month after month.

More coming soon. 🚀

What's new on Live Stream Recorder ✨

1 month ago

A few meaningful upgrades landed this week. Here's what changed and why.


🏷️ Real titles and descriptions on every recording

Every recording can now have a proper title and short summary instead of username's stream from May 24.


⏯️ Watch Later: play everything in one player

Saving a video for later used to mean clicking each one individually when you came back to it.

Watch Later now opens an inline player that plays through your saved list without leaving the page. The queue stays visible, you can jump between videos, and empty saved-lists get a proper empty state instead of a blank screen. 📺


🎬 Shorts on the dashboard

A new Shorts row on the dashboard surfaces trending and recent clips, so you can catch the best moments without digging through full streams. 🔥


📊 Clip view + download counts

Each clip now shows how many times it's been watched and downloaded. The numbers update in real time and feed the trending ranking on the Shorts row.

A report option was added to the clip menu too, so the community can flag issues — same flow as on recordings. 🚩


More coming soon. 🚀

See what's hot — view & download counts are live 🔥

2 months ago

Every recording now shows how many times it's been watched 👁 and downloaded ⬇️ — the counters appear right next to each video on your dashboard, profile pages, and listings.

Two new sections on your Dashboard

  • 🔥 Most Viewed — what the community is watching right now
  • Most Downloaded — what people are actually saving offline

New sort options 🎯

Head to Following or Explore and open the sort menu. Two new picks:

  • 👁 Most viewed
  • ⬇️ Most downloaded

A word on privacy 🛡

Views and downloads are now logged against your account (with IP) so we can defend against credit-card disputes and detect account sharing. You're in full control:

Welcome, Kwai and 17live 🎉

2 months ago

Two more platforms, two more communities of creators we can finally bring on board. 🎉

Kwai 🇧🇷🇮🇩🇲🇽 is huge in Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, and the Middle East — millions of creators who've never had a real archive of their Lives outside the app.

17live 🇹🇼🇯🇵🇭🇰 dominates Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong with both real Livers and V-Liver streamers. Now both have a home on LiveStreamRecorder. ✨

We launched a few months ago and we're already the best stream recorder platforms on the market 💪. That's not me being cocky — it's what the numbers say and what everyone tell us every week. 💙 Every feature we ship is the feature we wanted as creators. Every platform we add is one our community asked for. 🙌

Thanks for being part of this. ❤️

A message from the Webmaster

2 months ago

I wanted to take a moment, away from updates and announcements, to just say thank you.


For the last 6 months, I've been working on this platform no less than 12 hours a day. Some days have been incredible, others have tested me in ways I didn't expect. But every single one of you who joined, stayed, gave feedback, or simply showed up has been part of why I kept going.

To our premium members, I owe you something honest: without you, this platform would not exist today. I won't bore you with the technical side, but please know that every premium subscription is what keeps the lights on, the servers running, and the doors open for everyone else.

What I want you to take from this message is simple:

This is being built by a real person, with real effort, and your presence here matters more than you think.

I'm not done. I'm just getting started, and I hope you'll stay for what comes next. I don't know exactly what the next 6 months look like, but I know I want to keep building this with you. Your voice has shaped this platform more than you realise.


Thank you

  • To those who left feedback, good and bad — thank you.
  • To those who motivated me when I was running low — you have no idea how much those words helped.
  • To my premium members — without you, the platform would not have survived.
  • To those who've been patient with me — thank you for believing this was worth the wait.

New here?

Welcome. You're arriving at a chapter that's still being written, and that's a good thing. The people around you helped shape what this place is today, and you get to help shape what it becomes next. Take a look around, and don't be shy with your feedback. It really does reach me.


Thank you for being here.

— Webmaster

Three new platforms, three new languages 🌍

2 months ago

🎮 Trovo recordings Save your Trovo streams automatically as an independent backup. No OBS plugin, no screen recorder — just add your channel and we capture every clutch play, IRL session, and music stream in the cloud.

🎤 TwitCasting (ツイキャス) recordings Save every TwitCasting Live with no length cap and no archive expiry. Chat broadcasts, song covers, voice-only Lives — all kept beyond TwitCasting's own member-only and length limits.

📱 Mixch recordings Mixch creators can now save every Live automatically. No more disappearing content the moment you end the stream — your chat sessions, music moments, and daily content stay available for fans.

🌍 Three new languages: Deutsch, Français, 中文 LiveStreamRecorder now speaks German, French, and Chinese — bringing the total to 11 supported languages. Switch in the language menu to try them.

🔔 Live-stream notifications (Premium) A brand new Premium feature: get notified the moment one of your creators goes live, so you never miss a stream you wanted to catch. The notification system was also fully rebuilt under the hood for instant delivery.

🐛 Bug fixes

  • Korean and other non-Latin usernames now show their video screenshots correctly
  • Navigation across the entire app properly preserves your selected language

Try it out at livestreamrecorder.com — and as always, thanks for being part of the journey 💜

What's New This Week 🚀

3 months ago

The past week has been one of our busiest yet — we shipped a brand new platform, a dedicated mobile app, a bunch of UX upgrades, and did some serious work under the hood to make the whole site faster. Here's everything we rolled out:

📱 We're on Google Play!

LiveStreamRecorder is now available as a proper Android app. Install it from the Play Store and enjoy a full-screen, app-like experience with no browser bars getting in the way. You can also grab it directly from the Get it on Google Play badge on your dashboard.

✨ Tango is now supported

Tango joins our growing roster of supported platforms. If you stream on Tango, you can now save every livestream automatically — each time you go live we keep a copy for you, so nothing is lost when the stream ends.

⭐ Favorites section on your dashboard

Starred a creator you don't want to miss? Your favorites now get their own dedicated section at the top of the dashboard, so their latest recordings are always one glance away.

🔍 "Exclude my creators" toggle on Explore

The Explore page now has a clean switch labelled Exclude my creators. Flip it on when you want to discover new streamers who aren't already on your list — flip it off to browse everything.

👀 See what you've already watched

Videos you've played now show a watched indicator on their thumbnails, so it's easy to tell which recordings you've already seen and which ones are fresh.

🎞️ Video queue while playing

When you're watching a recording, you now see the full list of videos from the same creator alongside the player. Jump to the next (or previous) stream without leaving the page.

🎨 Redesigned public creators page

The public creators directory got a visual refresh — cleaner cards, better spacing, and it scales nicely from mobile up to wide desktop screens.

⚡ Under the hood: a much faster app

Not all the work was visible, but a lot of it will feel visible.

Thanks for being here while we keep shipping. If there's anything you'd like to see next, get in touch via our contact page.

LiveStreamRecorder just got better

3 months ago

We've been busy the past two weeks making LiveStreamRecorder better for you. Here's what's new:

🌐 Mirror Sites

We're now available at livestreamrecorder.net and livestreamrecorder.org — bookmark these as backups in case the main site is ever slow.

🎬 Per-Part Downloads

You can now download individual parts of a recording directly — no more waiting for an email with the merged video. Check the download menu on any recording.

⏱️ Duration Filter

Filter recordings by short, medium, or long on the Explore and Following pages.

📺 Live Platform Filter

Filter the Live page by platform — TikTok, Kick, Twitch, YouTube, and more.

🎨 Profile Redesign

Creator profiles got a fresh look with gradient backgrounds and a cleaner layout.

📤 YouTube Publishing

You can now publish your clips directly to YouTube from the clip editor!

⚡ Faster Video Loading

Videos now load through our global CDN for faster playback worldwide.

🎥 TikTok Recording Quality Fixed

We've permanently fixed the gray screen and corruption issues on TikTok recordings. All TikTok streams now come with two quality options:

  • Original — 1080p, highest quality available (better than what viewers see on TikTok)
  • HD — 720p (faster loading, less data usage)

Thanks for being part of the community!

What's New ✨

3 months ago

🎬 Better video quality for Tiktok

We fixed corrupted/gray frames in TikTok recordings.

⚡ Faster video startup

Videos now start playing faster. We reduced the chunk size, so the player only needs to download a small initial piece before playback begins.

⏩ Faster video navigation

You can now skip forward and backward 30 seconds in the video player using the new dedicated buttons.

🚀 Performance improvements

Clicking a video to watch no longer causes the page behind the modal to reload images or fetch new recordings unnecessarily. Much less data usage and faster experience.

🔍 Discover page

Video durations now show correctly on creator cards in the Discover page (previously missing).

Server Upgrades & Bug Fixes

4 months ago

I wanted to give you a quick update on what's been happening behind the scenes.

What's been fixed

  • More powerful main server — upgraded to more powerful server and storage for better performance and reliability
  • Database optimisation — tuned the database configuration and cleaned up thousands of orphaned records that were slowing things down
  • Live detection improvements — fixed issues where some streamers were not being detected as live due to platform changes and cookie handling errors
  • Video playback fix — resolved an issue where opening a recording for the first time could fail
  • Faster page loads — upgraded software to the latest version for better performance and stability
  • Extra recording server — added extra servers to handle more recordings.

About missed recordings

I know some of you have noticed that certain streamers aren't always getting recorded. I'm aware of this and actively working on improving detection. The Insights feature now lets you compare live activity with actual recordings, which helps me identify and fix gaps faster.

This is a solo project, and I'm putting in 15+ hours a day to keep everything running and improving. Growing from a small service to handling 100K streamers across many platforms comes with challenges, but I'm committed to making it as reliable as possible.

Thank you for your patience and support.

Service Update — Recording Issues

4 months ago

The storage provider is currently experiencing issues, which may be affecting recordings. Some recordings from the past few hours may be incomplete or missing.

I'm keeping an eye on it and things should be back to normal once they resolve it on their end. Unfortunately, any recordings affected during this time may not be recoverable.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience.
