Download live stream videos

Last updated Apr 21, 2026 You can enable downloads for live stream videos from the Cloudflare dashboard. Videos are available for download after they enter the Ready state.

Note

Downloadable MP4s are only available for live recordings under four hours. Live recordings exceeding four hours can be played at a later time but cannot be downloaded as an MP4.

  1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the Live inputs page. Go to Live inputs ↗
  2. Select a live input from the list.
  3. Under Videos created by live input, select your video.
  4. Under Settings, select Enable MP4 Downloads.
  5. Select Save. You will see a progress bar as the video generates a download link.
  6. When the download link is ready, under Download URL, copy the URL and enter it in a browser to download the video.
