How to Record From Bigo TV: A Quick Guide

Record available Bigo TV live streams with the CaptureGem desktop app. This guide explains which URL or identifier to use and how to find your saved video.

1. Download or update CaptureGem

Download the latest CaptureGem, open the app, and choose an output folder in Settings. Site support is included in both Free and Premium; see the plan comparison for recording limits and automatic recording features.

2. Choose the stream

Open the broadcaster's live page on Bigo TV. An example URL format is https://www.bigo.tv/bigo_id. Replace the example identifier with the one from the actual room.

Paste the broadcaster room URL or enter the public BIGO ID shown in that URL, then choose Bigo TV. The display nickname may differ from the BIGO ID.

3. Add the stream

In CaptureGem's Add Stream section, paste the URL or identifier and check the site selection. Turn off Monitor Only if you want to save a recording, then click Add Stream. Check the recording row to confirm it starts; an offline or unavailable stream will not immediately produce a video.

Bigo TV recording notes

Bigo TV has a built-in integration: select Bigo TV, rather than Other Site. The broadcaster must have a public live stream available; offline or password-protected rooms cannot be recorded through this public-room integration.

4. Stop and review the recording

Use the recording controls to stop when you have the footage you want. Allow processing to finish, then open Review to play the saved video or open its folder. You can adjust recording length and quality in Settings before the next recording.

If recording fails, check that the same room has an available public stream in your browser, confirm the identifier and selected site, and update CaptureGem. If the problem continues, include the error shown in CaptureGem when contacting support.
