Recorded shows on Stripchat let you watch a past performance from your favourite model. They work like a saved replay, so you can enjoy it again later instead of catching it live.
In this guide, I’ll explain what recorded shows are, where to find them, and what you should know before trying to download one. It’s essential to understand both the technical side and the rules that come with it.
Understanding Stripchat Recorded Shows
When a performer streams on Stripchat, the site sometimes saves that broadcast as a recorded show. These recordings are available on the model’s profile or in specific site sections, depending on how the creator has set them up.
Not every show is recorded, and some might only be available for a short time. The video file itself is stored on Stripchat’s servers, and you watch it through their built-in player. The content can be public, members-only, or restricted to people who paid for it during the live session.
Knowing where these recordings appear is the first step before thinking about saving them.
Legal and Terms of Service Considerations of Stripchat Recorded Shows
Before you download anything, check Stripchat’s terms of service. The platform, like most streaming sites, has strict rules about saving or redistributing content without permission.
Recorded shows are protected by copyright. The performer owns the content, and downloading it without their consent might break the law or violate the site’s policies. Always make sure you have the creator’s permission or that the method you use is within the site’s allowed features.
Official Download Options by Stripchat for Recorded Shows
Stripchat doesn’t provide a universal “download” button for all recorded shows. Some models may offer their own paid downloads through the platform as part of premium content.
If you see an official option to purchase or download, that’s the safest and most direct way. It supports the model, keeps you within the rules, and ensures you get the best quality version.
How to Download a Recorded Stripchat Show
Method 1 – Using Screen Recording Software
If there’s no official download option, the safest way to save a recorded show is by recording your screen while it plays. This method captures the video in real time, so you can save it in a format like MP4.
Steps to record:
- Install a screen recorder like OBS Studio, VLC Media Player, or another trusted program.
- Open the recorded show in your browser and set the video to full screen.
- Start recording before you press play to capture the entire show.
- Stop recording when it ends, then save the file.
This method works on both Windows and macOS, and it doesn’t require special access to Stripchat’s servers.
Method 2 – Using Browser Tools to Save Videos
Some users prefer using browser developer tools to find the video file directly. This works if the show is streamed in formats like HLS or M3U8.
Basic steps:
- Open the recorded show in Chrome or Firefox.
- Press
F12or right-click and select Inspect to open Developer Tools. - Go to the Network tab and play the video.
- Look for
.m3u8or.mp4links, then copy the link into a compatible downloader.
Note: Some streams are protected and can’t be saved this way. Also, downloading without permission may break Stripchat’s terms.
Method 3 – Mobile Download or Recording
On mobile devices, the easiest option is to use the built-in screen recording feature. Both Android and iOS have this:
- On iPhone: Use Control Centre and tap the Screen Record icon before playing the video.
- On Android: Swipe down from the top, find Screen Record, and start it.
You can also use third-party apps, but be careful to choose ones from trusted developers.
Video Quality and Format Tips for Stripchat Recorded Shows
If you record or download a show, aim for the highest resolution available—usually 1080p or 720p. The MP4 format is the most common and works with almost any device. Lower resolutions take less storage space but will look less sharp.
Keep an eye on file sizes—full-length shows in high quality can be large.
Conclusion
Downloading a recorded Stripchat show comes down to two main options: using the platform’s official download (if offered) or recording the video as it plays. Browser tools can work in some cases, but they’re not always allowed or supported.
Whichever method you choose, respect the performer’s rights. If you have their permission, you can save and watch it offline anytime—just make sure you do it safely and within the rules.
