Twitch Recap: How to See Yours (and Save the Highlights)

更新于: 2026-07-06 · 由vodfetch创始人撰写

Every December, Twitch Recap sums up your year of watching. Here's exactly where to find it, why some accounts don't get one — and how to save the streams behind it before they expire.

What Twitch Recap is

Twitch Recap is Twitch's annual, personalized year-in-review: hours watched, days active, top categories, your most-watched streamers, chats sent and more. It arrives every December — the 2025 edition went live on December 2, 2025 — and alongside the personal recaps there's a community recap of the year's best clips that everyone can watch.

How to see your Recap

Go to twitch.tv/annual-recap while logged in with the account you actually watch on. Twitch also emails a link when your Recap is ready, and in recent years viewing it has unlocked a seasonal chat badge.

Why you might not have one

Recaps have an eligibility bar: roughly ten hours watched (viewer recap) or ten hours streamed (creator recap) inside the eligibility window — for the 2025 edition that window ran from October 31, 2024 to October 31, 2025. If you're below the bar, or logged into a different account than the one you watch with, no personal recap appears — the community recap still works for everyone.

Can you download your Recap?

Twitch gives you a built-in share graphic, and that's it — there is no export of the underlying data. A screenshot covers the rest. The Recap itself is a summary; the actual streams behind it live, temporarily, on the channels you watched.

Save the streams behind your Recap

Recap tells you who you watched most — and Twitch quietly deletes those channels' VODs on a 7-to-60-day timer all year round. If what you actually care about is your favorite streamer's broadcasts and moments, save them as MP4 with vodfetch — free, in your browser, no account.

Clips don't expire on a timer, but they do disappear: streamers delete them, audio gets muted, channels get purged. A local copy is the only version that's really yours.

如何下载Twitch视频

1
Open twitch.tv/annual-recap
Log in with the account you actually watch on — Recaps are per-account.
2
Check your email if it's missing
Twitch mails a Recap link when it's ready, usually in the first days of December.
3
Share or screenshot
Use the built-in share graphic; there's no full export of the data.
4
Save the actual streams and clips
Paste any VOD or clip link from your favorite channels into vodfetch and keep the year's moments as MP4.

常见问题

When does Twitch Recap come out?

Early December each year. The 2025 Recap went live on December 2, 2025 at twitch.tv/annual-recap, with an email notification to eligible accounts.

Why don't I have a Twitch Recap?

Most often: not enough watch time in the eligibility window (roughly ten hours), or you're logged into a different account than the one you watch with. The community recap is viewable either way.

Can I download my Twitch Recap?

Twitch offers a share graphic, not a data export — screenshot the pages you want. The underlying streams are separate, and those you can genuinely save as files.

Can I download the clips from Recap?

Yes — the community recap's clips and your favorite streamers' clips are regular Twitch clips. Paste a clip's URL into vodfetch's clip downloader and it saves as a clean MP4 without a watermark.
