Stream Clipper: Clip Twitch, Kick and YouTube Streams Live
Built for clippers. Watch a Twitch, Kick or YouTube stream here, hit Clip when the clutch play or IRL chaos happens, then trim it, make it 9:16 and add your caption and channel logo.
Phones and tablets do not let websites record the screen. You can still edit a saved clip below.
- 1Paste a stream link
- 2Allow this tab
- 3Clip the moment
C won't clip while the player has the keyboard. It works again as soon as your mouse leaves the player.
Your browser asks to share this tab. Press Allow and keep Also share tab audio on so your clips have sound. Clipping then runs while you watch.
5 minutes is heavy. The replay holds up to about 300 MB in memory and your computer works harder while it runs, which can slow down games or other apps. Saving the clip also takes longer. On an older laptop, 1 or 2 minutes is smoother.
Sharper clips: pick the highest quality in the player's settings (the gear icon). Clips are recorded at the quality you watch.
Records what plays on your screen, like a screen recorder, and keeps it only in this tab's memory. Nothing is uploaded; Turn off or leaving the page wipes it. Streams belong to their creators, so ask before reposting.
Drag the bright frame to choose what to keep
9:16 is the TikTok, Reels and Shorts shape.
Crop fills the shape and cuts off what does not fit. Fit keeps the whole picture and fills the gaps.
A PNG with a transparent background works best. SVG, JPG, WebP, GIF and short videos work too; GIFs and videos loop. Drag the logo on the preview to place it anywhere.
Off: instant, with no quality loss. MP4 and MOV clips start right on time; other formats can start a moment early.
Your file never leaves this device. Closing the editor wipes it.
How to use the Stream Clipper
- Paste a Twitch, Kick or YouTube link and press Watch & clip. The stream plays here in the platform's own player.
- Your browser asks to share this tab: press Allow and keep "Also share tab audio" on. From then on ClipCut keeps the last 30 seconds to 5 minutes while you watch and drops anything older.
- When something happens, press the clip button (or C). Trim it, crop to 9:16, add a caption and your logo, then export.
Clip it after it happens
Live moments do not wait for you to hit record. The stream clipper starts with the stream and keeps a rolling window of what you are watching, dropping anything older, so the clip button saves the play that just happened and memory stays the same however long you watch. Pick 30 seconds for a quick reaction, 1 minute for most plays, 2 minutes for a longer IRL moment, or 5 minutes when you cannot risk missing the build-up. 5 minutes holds more in memory and works your computer harder, so use it on a capable desktop.
Made for clip channels
Everything a clip needs before it goes on TikTok, YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels: trim the dead air, crop to 9:16 or fit the whole gameplay with blurred edges, add a caption, slow down the best second, and drag your channel logo or watermark exactly where you want it. Exports have no ClipCut watermark.
What it can and cannot do
It works in Chrome, Edge and Firefox on a computer; phones and tablets do not let websites record the screen. It records what plays on your screen, like a screen recorder, and does not download streams or VODs from Twitch, Kick or YouTube, so set the player to its highest quality first. In Chrome and Edge the recording is cropped to the player; in Firefox it records the whole tab or window you share.
Frequently asked questions
How do I clip a Twitch stream as a viewer?
Paste the channel link here and press Watch & clip, then press Allow when your browser asks to share this tab (keep "Also share tab audio" on). When something happens, press the clip button and the last minute opens in the editor, ready to trim and export.
How do I clip a Kick stream?
The same way: paste the Kick channel link, press Watch & clip, then Allow. Kick's own clip button makes clips of 10 seconds to 3 minutes; the Stream Clipper keeps up to 5 minutes and takes the clip straight into a vertical editor for captions and your logo.
Can I clip a YouTube live stream?
Yes. Paste the video or live link, not the channel page. Some streams turn off playing on other sites; for those, open the stream in another tab and choose clip another tab or window.
Can I add my clip channel logo?
Yes. Open the Watermark tab in the editor, choose your logo (PNG, SVG, JPG, WebP, GIF or a short video), set the size and opacity, and drag it anywhere on the preview.
How do I make a vertical TikTok clip from a stream?
After clipping, open the Shape tab and pick 9:16. Crop to fill and drag the frame onto the action, or pick Fit, blurred edges to keep the whole gameplay with a blurred background.
How long a clip can I save?
Up to the last 5 minutes. 30 seconds, 1 minute and 2 minutes are light on your computer; 5 minutes keeps up to about 300 MB in memory and uses more processing power while the replay runs, so it suits a desktop more than an older laptop.
Do I need a Twitch or Kick account?
No. Most streams play here without signing in. Some, such as mature or subscriber only streams, ask you to sign in inside the player.
Does it work on my phone?
No. Phones and tablets do not let websites record the screen. Use Chrome, Edge or Firefox on a computer.
Why is there no sound in my clip?
Sound is only recorded when "Also share tab audio" is on as you press Allow. Press Turn off, then Turn on clipping and keep it switched on.
Can I repost clips of someone else's stream?
Streams belong to their creators. Many streamers welcome clip channels, others do not: ask first, credit them, and follow the rules of the platform you post on.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The replay stays in this tab's memory and is wiped when you turn clipping off or leave the page.
