How to record Twitch stream
- Gamers who stream while playing would like to record and highlight their game
- Gameplay commentary
- Game review
- Browser Game
- PC Games
- Viewers who want to record their favorite streamers and make a video out of it
Twitch comes with a built-in game recording option, which you can use to record live streams while you play and stream. But there are two limitations:
- Twitch compresses videos to broadcast on all possible bandwidths and devices, which could make the video quality lesser.
- Twitch can mute certain sections in your recording making your important highlights useless
With Vmaker’s Twitch screen recorder, you don’t have to worry about any of those limitations. You can capture everything on your screen with audio in HD quality. Not just that, you can also edit and create gameplay highlights of your recordings with Vmaker’s built-in video editor and share them with ease.
