Twitch, one of the largest live video streaming platforms for a tightly-knit gaming community, has a unique feature of allowing users to archive past broadcasts as VOD (Video on Demand). This allows streamers to attract a wider audience on YouTube and other social media platforms. Using this feature can be very easy for both new and veteran streamers. This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to export your best VOD content from Twitch to YouTube.
Getting Started
To begin, you will need to link your Twitch account to your YouTube channel. To do this, click on the arrow next to your profile picture/avatar in the top right corner of the Twitch platform. From there, select “Video Producer” to connect your channels. Once your accounts are linked, you will be able to select the “Select Videos” option from the drop-down menu in the upper right corner of the screen. From there, you will be able to choose which VODs you would like to upload and create a playlist.
After selecting the VODs that you want to upload, you will need to create a playlist that corresponds with the title of the YouTube video. Once you have created the playlist, you can then upload your selected VODs to YouTube. Creating a playlist will also ensure that the uploaded VODs appear in the correct order when they are viewed on YouTube.
Once your VODs are uploaded to YouTube, you can start creating highlights and small clips of your content that can be posted on other platforms such as TikTok and Facebook. This will allow you to reach a wider audience and increase your following on those platforms. Creating these highlight and small videos from your VOD broadcasts will help you retain and gain followers even after the live streaming is over.
If you are looking for a software tool to download and convert your Twitch videos to MP3 files, there are several options available. However, it is important to note that some of these tools will not be able to download subscriber streams as they are protected by Twitch’s terms of service.
Another popular option is to use TunesKit Audio Capture, which allows you to download Twitch clips and streams directly in MP3 format. This is a simple tool that is free to use and works on Windows 10 and later. The only downside of this software is that it does not support ad-free streaming.
Finally, you can also use VEED, which is a free online video editor that allows you to download content from Twitch and other platforms to edit and repurpose for multiple purposes. With this free video editing tool, you can add images, background music, text, subtitles, and more to your video. Its easy-to-use interface and countless features make it a great option for both new and experienced streamers. It also has a built-in Twitch VOD extractor that is compatible with most major platforms.
