TikTok Live Downloader — full streams, free

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 complete MP4 to your Telegram chat. Original quality, full audio, no watermark, no screen recording.

Download your first live — free

Download a TikTok live in 3 steps

  1. 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. 2
    Send /rec with the username

    Type /rec username while the creator is live. RecTok connects to the stream and captures the full broadcast in original quality — even if you close Telegram.

  3. 3
    Download your MP4

    When the live ends (or you send /stop), the complete MP4 lands in your Telegram chat. Tap to download it to any phone or computer.

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 every future live is captured automatically — 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 get a clean, complete MP4 — whether the live runs twenty minutes or five hours.

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. RecTok solves this going forward: add the creator to your watchlist with /watch and every future live is recorded automatically. You can also check the public RecTok library — if someone already recorded that stream, you can rewatch it there.
Is this TikTok live downloader really free?
Yes. Recording and downloading TikTok lives with RecTok is free with no length limit. An optional Premium plan adds extras like multiple simultaneous recordings, but you never need it to download a live.
What quality are the downloads?
RecTok captures the original stream quality — the MP4 you download is the same resolution TikTok broadcasts, with full sound and no watermark added.
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.
