What is TikTok live downloading?

When a creator goes live on TikTok, the session can be saved as a replay after the broadcast ends. These replays are only available for a limited time and the creator can remove them at any point. Live downloading means saving those replay recordings to your device so you can watch them offline, reference them later, or keep a copy before TikTok removes the replay.

How to download TikTok live replays

Wait until the live stream has ended - replays cannot be captured while still live.
Go to the creator's profile and find the saved live replay.
Tap Share, then tap Copy link.
Paste the link into the TikItDown field above and press Download.
Save the live replay to your device.

Important limitations

Live streams cannot be captured in real time - only saved replays that the creator has made available can be downloaded.
Replays are temporary - TikTok removes them after a period and the creator can delete them sooner.
Quality may vary - live content is compressed during broadcast, so replays may be lower resolution than standard uploads.
Full replay download - you save the entire live session. Use a video editor to trim specific segments after downloading.

For regular TikTok videos (non-live), check our no watermark downloader which handles standard video uploads at full quality. If you're looking for short disappearing content, our story downloader covers TikTok stories.

What you can do with saved live replays

Watch offline - save live tutorials, Q&As, and performances to watch without an internet connection.
Study and reference - keep live cooking demos, workout sessions, or educational streams for repeated viewing.
Clip highlights - download the full replay, then use a video editor to extract the best moments.
Preserve content - creators sometimes remove live replays quickly. Downloading lets you keep the content while it's still available.

Frequently asked questions

Can I download a live stream that is still ongoing?+

No. Live streams can only be downloaded after they have ended. Once the creator finishes the live session and it becomes a saved replay, you can paste that link into TikItDown to download it.

How long are TikTok live replays available?+

TikTok keeps live replays for a limited time. The creator may also choose to delete the replay or make it private at any time. If the replay is available, TikItDown can download it.

What quality are live stream downloads?+

Live stream replays are saved at the quality TikTok provides, which may be lower than standard uploaded videos since live content is compressed during broadcast. You get the best available quality from the replay.

Can I download only a portion of a live replay?+

TikItDown downloads the full live replay. If you only need a specific segment, you can use any video editor to trim the downloaded file after saving it to your device.

Does this work with TikTok LIVE shopping streams?+

Yes. If a LIVE shopping stream has been saved as a replay and is publicly accessible, TikItDown can download it just like any other live replay.
