Watching

Replays

Where to find replays, how gifts and chat play again at their moments, how long replays are kept, and clips.

When a live stream ends, its recording becomes a replay. The replay plays the stream's gifts and chat again, at the moments they happened.

Where to find them

  • On the live page: the cards marked REPLAY in All live & replays, and the most-watched replays of the last 7 days in Top on NETSTREAM.
  • On a creator's channel, under Streams.
  • Under a stream: More from … (the same creator) and Popular on NETSTREAM.

Who can watch a replay

A replay follows the same rules as its stream:

  • A free replay shares its stream's 5-minute free preview, then needs a View Pass — unless you never need one.
  • A pay-per-view ticket covers the stream live and its replay.
  • The replay of a subscribers-only stream needs the subscription.
  • A battle opens a stream only while it is live, never its replay.

Gifts and chat, at their moments

Gifts are never part of the picture: the app draws them over the video. On a replay, each gift comes back when the video reaches the moment it was sent — the same card or full-screen animation, with the same sound. The gift sound switch is in the top-left corner of the video.

The chat comes back too, read-only, under Chat from the stream: each message appears when the video reaches the moment it was written. Go back, and the later messages go away again. On a computer it is where the live chat would be; on a phone it is under the creator's details.

You can't send gifts or write in the chat of a replay.

How long they are kept

Replays are kept for 30 days after the stream, with their chat. After that they are gone. If a part of a recording is damaged, the player skips it and tells you.

Clips

A clip is a short moment — 5 to 60 seconds — that the creator cut from their own live stream. Clips are on the creator's channel under Clips, each with a link back to its stream. A clip is kept until the creator deletes it.
