Twitter/X Broadcast Downloader
Save broadcast replays from X.
Free · Updated May 2026
Live broadcasts on X are events — and like all live content, the replay can vanish when the host takes it down. If you want to keep a broadcast you watched (or missed), xfetchy saves the recording as a standard MP4.
Paste the broadcast link once the stream has ended and X has processed the replay, and xfetchy returns a downloadable video file. Watch it offline, archive it, or pull the highlight you came for.
How to use the Broadcast Downloader
- 1Copy the post link. On X, tap the share icon under the post and choose Copy link — or copy the URL from your browser's address bar.
- 2Paste it into xfetchy. Drop the link into the box above and press Fetch. xfetchy reads the post and finds what it contains.
- 3Download the video. Pick your quality and tap Download — the MP4 saves straight from X to your device.
When can a broadcast be downloaded?
A broadcast becomes downloadable after it ends and X finishes turning the live stream into a replay — usually within a few minutes. Trying to grab it mid-stream gives you only the portion aired so far. Wait for the "replay" state, paste the link, and you will get the complete recording in full quality.
Broadcast vs. Spaces — they are not the same feature
It is easy to mix these up since both are X's live-streaming tools. A Broadcast is video — someone streaming their camera or screen — and downloads as an MP4, same as any other X video. A Space is audio-only, more like a live podcast or radio call-in, and downloads as an MP3 instead. If you paste a link and get audio when you expected video (or vice versa), double-check which type of live session it actually was; use the Spaces downloader for those instead.
