Clip a YouTube livestream

You do not have to wait for a livestream to finish. Paste the link while it is live, and Cliphi records along and turns the best moments into short clips, so a highlight can go up while the stream is still running.

Before you start

You need the link to a YouTube livestream that is live right now. Open the stream on YouTube and copy the link from your browser's address bar. This only works while the stream is actually live. Once it ends, treat it like a normal video and follow Clip a YouTube video instead.

Steps

1. Paste the link

On the Cliphi home page, paste the livestream link into the box and select Get clips.

2. Choose how long to record

A livestream does not have a start and end yet, so instead of picking a section, you choose how long Cliphi should record along. Pick a length, then select Start Recording. Want to keep going after that? Just start a new project to record the next stretch.

3. Clips come back as it records

Cliphi records the stream and finds the best moments while it goes. Clips show up one at a time, so you can start posting highlights before the stream is even over.

4. Tweak and post

Open a clip to change the look with the controls down the side, then tap Get Clip to make the final version and download it, or Share to post it.

Quick check before you post

• Watch the whole clip through.
• The speaker stays in frame the whole way.
• The captions read clearly and sit clear of the edges.
