● First, change the settings to record and save streams.
Before you go live, tap “⋯More Settings” on the left side of the screen.

・Streams may be recorded for a max of 8 hours and will be kept for 7 days after the recording begins.
・Archived streams will be kept for 7 days regardless of Publish/Unpublished status.
・Only normal streams can be recorded. You can’t archive VS or Group Calls.

※Archived streams won’t be published even if the Archive live stream setting is turned ON (①). It requires you to turn ON the Auto publish archive setting as pictured in ②, or to “publish” the archived streaming in “Edit” (please refer to the next section regarding how to edit the archived streams).

※ You can add up to two hashtags.
▼ Viewer Guide
● There are two ways to watch archive videos:
① You can see a streamer’s archived videos by tapping the icon “🎥” on their profile page. Archived videos are displayed from newest to oldest. If the streamer doesn’t have any archived streams, nothing will be displayed.
※ If the archived stream is going to disappear in less than 24 hours, you’ll see a highlight in the upper part of the thumbnail.
＜Update on 10.01.2023＞
② You can now see archived videos on the Genre Page under Trending Archive Videos.
● When watching an archive video, you can like/unlike, follow the streamer, share the video, drag the progress bar and send “Offline Gifts” to streamers.
● Share Archived Streams
By tapping the arrow icon shown in the lower right side of the play screen, you can share the archived stream on platforms like LINE, X, Facebook, Messenger, etc. or simply copy the link.
If someone who already has 17LIVE installed on their device taps on your link, it will take them directly to the archived stream.
※ If someone who taps on your link doesn’t have 17LIVE installed on their device, the link will take them to the streamer’s profile page.
