It is a practical addition for creators who want local copies of their streams for editing, archiving, or reviewing past content. Previously, Kick’s help article on downloading VODs directed streamers to third-party tools — including the Streams Charts Kick VOD Downloader.

Kick’s announcement introduces a native option, while the third-party, link-based workflow remains available through Streams Charts.

How to download your Kick VOD from the platform

Kick’s announcement confirms that creators can download their VODs directly, but does not specify the exact menu names or button location. To find the new option:

1. Sign in to the Kick account that owns the broadcast.
2. Open your channel’s recorded videos and select the VOD you want to save.
3. Look for a Download option (or icon) on the VOD page or in its options menu.
4. Select it and save the video to your device.

If you do not see a download option, check that you are signed in to the account that created the VOD and that the recording is still available. The location of the control may vary as Kick updates its interface.

An alternative: Streams Charts Kick VOD Downloader

Creators who prefer a link-based workflow can use the free Streams Charts Kick VOD Downloader. It offers a way to save an available Kick VOD without downloading it through the creator’s Kick account interface:

1. Open the VOD on Kick and copy its link from your browser’s address bar.
2. Paste the link into the Streams Charts downloader.
3. Select an available resolution and click Download.

The tool’s page lists resolution options from 160p to 1080p and says downloaded videos may be provided in .mp4 or .ts format. It also supports full-length broadcasts, although longer VODs may take more time to process. Downloads may not be available when a VOD is restricted or inaccessible.

The two methods serve slightly different needs. Kick’s native feature is the direct route for creators saving their own recordings. The Streams Charts tool remains an alternative when a creator has a VOD link and wants to choose from the available download resolutions. Kick also names Streams Charts in its VOD download help article.

For creators, the broader takeaway is simple: saving a broadcast no longer has to depend on a single workflow. Whether you use Kick’s new native option or the Streams Charts Kick VOD Downloader, downloading a VOD gives you a local copy to work with after the stream ends.
