Free Kick & Twitch VOD player
Download a Kick VOD
Kick does not offer a download button. What it does expose is the playlist its own player reads, and that playlist is all a normal media tool needs. NoSub gives you that link; VLC or FFmpeg turns it into a file on your disk.

Step by step
Three steps, none of which require an account:
- Paste the Kick replay URL into NoSub and let it resolve the stream.
- Open the download panel and copy the M3U8 link it shows.
- Save the file — feed that link to VLC (Media > Open Network Stream > Convert) or to FFmpeg with a single copy command.
What FFmpeg command to use
A stream copy is enough — there is no need to re-encode, and re-encoding would cost you both time and quality. `ffmpeg -i "<link>" -c copy out.mp4` writes the file as-is. If the replay is long, expect the file to be several gigabytes: Kick serves source quality when the streamer enabled it.
On a slow connection, add `-reconnect 1 -reconnect_streamed 1` before the input so a dropped segment does not abort the whole download.
Which qualities you get
Kick publishes several renditions per replay — commonly 1080p60, 720p60, 480p and 360p. NoSub reads the master playlist, so the link you copy carries every rendition and your tool picks the highest by default. If you want a specific one, select the quality in the player first: the link then points at that single rendition.
Known limits
A replay that Kick has stopped serving cannot be downloaded — nothing recovers a deleted recording, here or anywhere else. Subscriber-only replays sometimes expose no source at all; in that case NoSub falls back to a direct probe, and if that fails too, the replay is genuinely out of reach.
Kick also rotates its CDN prefixes. A link copied yesterday may expire; copy a fresh one rather than reusing an old command.
FAQ
Is downloading a Kick VOD legal?
Downloading for personal use is generally tolerated; redistributing is not. The recording belongs to the streamer, and platform terms apply to you as much as to us. NoSub gives you the link the platform already publishes — what you do with the file is your responsibility.
Why is my file smaller than expected?
Your tool most likely picked a lower rendition. Select the quality in the player before copying the link, or pass the master playlist and let FFmpeg map the highest stream explicitly.
