Watching recordings

Open Library → Videos to browse recordings. Everyone signed in to the server can use the library.

Find a recording

Use the tabs above the list to choose what to show:

Tab	Recordings shown
All	All recordings in the library.
This week	Recordings from the last seven days.
Unwatched	Recordings you haven’t started watching.
Watch later	Recordings you’ve saved for later.

Use Sort to order recordings by recording date, stream date, channel, duration, or size. View switches between posters and a table.

Open Filters to narrow the list:

Filter	Choices
Status	Done, Running, Pending, Failed.
Quality	Recording resolution.
Language	Broadcast language.
Duration	Under 30m, 30m–2h, 2h–4h, or 4h+.
Type	Live recordings or Archives.

The search in the header searches videos, channels, and categories across the library. You can limit the results to any one of those groups.

Pick up where you left off

Open a recording you’ve started and select Resume at to continue from your saved position, or Start over to play from the beginning. The resume prompt appears once you’ve watched a few seconds and disappears when you’re near the end.

The Continue watching row on the Dashboard lists recordings you’ve started but haven’t finished, with the most recently watched first.

Watch progress is saved to your account. Other people’s viewing doesn’t affect your progress or the Unwatched tab.

Save something for later

Select Add to watch later on a recording to save it to your Watch later tab. Select Remove from watch later to remove it from the list. This list is private to your account.

What the badges mean

Badge	Meaning
Archive	Downloaded from a past broadcast on Twitch.
PARTIAL	Some of the recording is missing. The captured footage is still playable.
TRUNCATED	Recording stopped before the broadcast ended.
CANCELLED	Someone cancelled the recording.

While you watch

If a recording has several parts, the player switches between them automatically. The playback cache lets you seek across compatible parts as one video. The server owner can enable it.

The Stream timeline shows title and category changes captured during the broadcast. Select a marker on the seek bar to jump to that change. Use the layout control to place the timeline beside or below the player. See Title tracking for how this history is recorded.

Channels

Open Library → Channels to browse broadcasters. The tabs show All, Live now, Downloaded, or Favorites. A Live badge means the channel is currently streaming.

Select a channel’s star to add it to Favorites. Your favourites are saved to your account. To record a channel automatically, create or request a schedule.

Open a channel to see its recordings. Admins and owners can also select Download to record a stream that’s live now.
