Twitch and the rules
Could a 24/7 channel put my Partner or Affiliate status at risk?
No rule says it will, and no rule says it will not. The 24/7 channel is a separate account, so your main channel keeps its history. What Twitch has and has not written is quoted on the rules page. Full answer →
Is a 24/7 replay channel allowed on Twitch?
Twitch has a help page for it: stream the rerun from your own encoder and label it. Owning the content is the condition that matters. Full answer →
What about the 48-hour limit?
Twitch ends any broadcast at 48 hours. VOD247 reconnects long before, between two VODs. Full answer →
Can I replay someone else’s VODs?
Only with a written licence from them, recorded on the channel. Twitch does not allow sharing content you do not own, and VOD247 has no other option.
The archive
How long do Twitch VODs last?
7 days on a standard account, 14 for Affiliates, 60 for Partners, Prime and Turbo. Full answer →
What quality is archived?
The one you streamed at. The file is stored as Twitch had it, never touched, and replayed exactly as it was.
Can I add videos that never aired on Twitch?
Yes, from the dashboard catalogue: OBS recordings, VODs you saved yourself. Formats and limits are in the upload guide. Full answer →
Can I get my files back?
Yes. They are yours. Ask, and you get them as stored.
The channel
Can I do it myself with OBS?
Yes, and the guide walks through OBS, a restream service and a rented server. Each one needs a machine that never sleeps, plus a way to archive VODs before Twitch deletes them. Full answer →
Do I need a second Twitch account?
Yes. One account broadcasts 24/7 (yourname_247), and its VODs come from your main account, declared as the source. Full answer →
Does it work on Kick or YouTube?
No. VOD247 is built for Twitch only: the polls and the chat are Twitch, and the archive is your Twitch VODs plus the files you upload.
What if the source streamer changes their stream settings?
Each VOD is replayed in its own format. When the next one differs, the broadcast restarts between the two VODs, in a few seconds.
The chat and the vote
Does chat voting need Affiliate status?
No. Chat can vote with !vote 1 to 5 instead of a native poll. The chat vote page covers how the two modes differ. Full answer →
Does the bot raid automatically?
It can, once turned on, and it is off by default. When your main channel goes live, the 24/7 channel raids it after a delay, once per live and at most once an hour. It can then pause itself. VOD247 turns it on on request. The raid out, at the end of your stream, stays your button.
The site and the price
Where is my public site?
On a vod247.tv subdomain by default, on your own domain on request. Full answer →
How much does it cost?
From 49 € a month, flat, with 1 TB of archive, about 370 hours of VOD. Monthly or annual, cancel any time. Full answer →
