Hello.
Since The_ had a question during yesterday's stream about how to permanently save streams on Twitch, I decided to create a small guide on this topic.
First, a brief historical overview. This winter and spring, the Twitch.tv platform began to grow extremely rapidly. The smart folks at the company that provided us with this wonderful streaming platform scratched their heads and decided that storing all recorded streams indefinitely was somewhat costly. So, at the end of April, the "save all streams on the channel" checkbox was removed, and streams began to last only a few days – from four to seven.
However, all is not lost. If you want to save any stream permanently, there is nothing complicated about it.
Go to your profile page on Twitch, to the Past Broadcasts section, and you will see the following:
This displays all the streams you have recorded.
Next, go to the page of the stream you are interested in and find the gear icon there.
Click on it, find the Save Forever line, and click there.
A green line will pop up at the top: Video Successfully Saved.
That's it, the stream has been saved on your channel forever.
Yes, if you ever enabled the "save streams forever" checkbox on Twitch or Justin.tv, you don't need to worry – it still works.
