How to Save Instagram Live Videos After They End

Instagram Live is a powerful tool for creators to connect with their audience in real time. However, once the broadcast ends, the creator usually chooses to share it to their profile as a regular video (formerly IGTV). If you want to keep a copy of that live stream before it gets deleted, you need a downloader.

How to Download a Saved Live Broadcast

If the creator has chosen to share the Live video to their profile after the broadcast ended:

  1. Navigate to their Instagram profile.
  2. Click on the video in their feed (usually indicated by a play button icon).
  3. Tap the three dots and select Copy Link.
  4. Paste the link into the CoraClip Video Downloader.
  5. Download the MP4 file to your device.

Important Limitations

  • Active Streams: You cannot download an Instagram Live while it is currently broadcasting. You must wait for it to end and be published to the profile.
  • Deleted Streams: If the creator ends the broadcast and chooses "Discard" instead of sharing it to their profile, the video is gone forever and cannot be downloaded by any tool.
  • Private Accounts: As always, CoraClip can only access videos from public accounts.

By using CoraClip, you can easily archive interviews, Q&As, and exclusive performances from your favorite creators.
