A LIVE wasn't recorded — what to check

Updated Oct 16, 20261 min read
Open the channel first — its status usually tells you exactly why a LIVE was not recorded.

SaveStream records a LIVE automatically only when the channel is being monitored, Auto-record is on and your account can pay for the recording. If a LIVE is missing from Recordings, one of these is almost always the reason.

Your email isn't verified yet

Your free trial minutes can only record once your email is verified. Open the link in the verification email (you can resend it from Settings → Account). Monitoring and LIVE alerts work in the meantime.

Auto-record is off for the channel

Open the channel and check the Auto-record switch. Each channel has its own switch.

Your free minutes or credits ran out

With no available credits, automatic recording can't start — whether your free minutes are used up or a pack is spent. A recording that was running when the credits ran out stops there and is saved. Buy a pack in Usage & Billing; channels that show Paused because there weren't enough credits resume automatically.

Monitoring is paused or shows an error

Paused channels are not checked. A channel shows Error after several failed checks in a row — usually because the username changed or the account is private or restricted. Fix the username if needed, then turn Monitoring back on.

All your recording slots were busy

After a purchase your account records several livestreams at a time; on free minutes it records one. A LIVE that ended while waiting for a free slot is marked Missed and isn't charged.

The LIVE was very short

Channels are checked about every 30 seconds. A LIVE that ends within the first few seconds may finish before recording starts.
