TikTok Live Downloader — captured as MP4

Most “TikTok downloaders” only grab normal videos — they can't touch a LIVE, because TikTok deletes the broadcast the moment it ends. RecTok works differently: it records the live stream while it's happening and delivers the captured video to your Telegram chat as an MP4. Best available source, no added watermark, no screen recording.

Download your first live — free

Download a TikTok live in 3 steps

1
Open the RecTok bot
Search @RecTok_Bot on Telegram and press Start. No app to install, no TikTok login, no watermarked screen recordings.
2
Send /rec with the username
Type /rec username while the creator is live. RecTok connects to the available public source and captures the best stream it can access — even if you close Telegram.
3
Download your MP4
When the live ends (or you send /stop), the successfully captured video lands in your Telegram chat as an MP4.

The stream already ended — can I still download it?

Honest answer: not from TikTok. Once a LIVE ends, TikTok removes it — there is nothing left for any downloader to fetch. Two ways RecTok fixes this for good: browse the public RecTok library to see if the stream was already recorded by someone else, and add the creator to your watchlist with /watch username so recording can start automatically when a future public live is detected — even while you sleep.

Why not just screen-record?

Screen recording ties up your phone for the whole stream, drains the battery, captures notifications and chat overlays, and stops the moment your screen locks. RecTok records server-side: you send one command and receive the portion successfully captured from the available source as an MP4.

Frequently asked questions

Can I download a TikTok live after it ended?

TikTok keeps no public copy of a LIVE once it ends, so no downloader can fetch a stream that's already over. For future streams, add the creator to your watchlist with /watch so RecTok can start recording when an accessible public live is detected. You can also check the public RecTok library.

Is this TikTok live downloader really free?

Yes. Free users can record one stream at a time for up to 1 hour. Premium adds 10 simultaneous recordings, 30 watchlist slots and up to 12 hours per recording.

What quality are the downloads?

RecTok uses the best source stream available to it at capture time and adds no watermark. Resolution, audio, stability and availability depend on TikTok and the source stream, so a particular quality level cannot be guaranteed.

Do I need to keep my phone on during the stream?

No. RecTok records on its servers. Start the recording and close Telegram — the finished MP4 will be waiting in your chat.
