How to Download Twitch VODs & Clips

🖥️ Desktop App Required

▶ VIDEO TUTORIAL

Twitch is the home of live gaming streams, but past broadcasts (VODs) and clips disappear or expire. VidRivo's desktop app lets you save any public Twitch VOD or clip permanently to your PC.

1

Install VidRivo Desktop App

Download the free VidRivo installer from vidrivo.com and run it. Installation takes under a minute. Because Twitch requires authentication for VODs, you need the desktop app — it uses your own Windows session to access content directly.

2

Copy the Twitch VOD or Clip URL

Open the VOD at twitch.tv/videos/... or the clip at twitch.tv/username/clip/... in your browser. Copy the full URL from the address bar. You can also right-click the VOD title or clip and choose "Copy link".

3

Paste, Analyze & Download

Open VidRivo, paste the Twitch URL into the input field and click Analyze. The app fetches the title, thumbnail and available qualities (720p or 1080p). Choose your preferred resolution and click Download — the VOD or clip saves to your PC in seconds.

💡 Pro Tip

Works for public VODs and clips. Subscriber-only VODs require you to be logged in on the browser VidRivo uses. Live streams cannot be downloaded in real time — wait for the VOD to appear after the stream ends.

No account sharing needed. VidRivo respects your privacy — it uses your existing Windows session and never stores your credentials.
