In a world where gaming has become more than just a hobby, Twitch serves as the primary streaming platform for gamers and various live streams. For Twitch users, there's an added advantage if you know how to download Twitch videos for offline viewing. This article is an extensive tutorial on how to download someone's Twitch clips and videos, including methods to save a Twitch clip to your phone and more.

Before we start, it's essential to note that you can only download Twitch VODs (Video on Demand) that you own as a Twitch Partner, Twitch Affiliate, or if you are part of the Twitch streamers' program. Otherwise, you will need to use third-party tools to download videos from other Twitch channels.

How to Save a Twitch Video?

As a Twitch Partner or Affiliate, you can save your videos for future viewing. Twitch doesn't automatically store past broadcasts, so you'll have to manually save them.

  1. Go to the 'Settings' page on your Twitch account.
  2. Click on the 'Channel and Videos' tab.
  3. Toggle on the 'Store Past Broadcasts' option.

Remember, Twitch only stores these broadcasts for 14 days for standard users, 60 days for Twitch Partners, Twitch Turbo and Prime users. To keep them forever, you'll need to highlight the video in your 'Video Producer' settings. For someone else's videos, you'll need to download them following the methods mentioned above.
