If your live stream is less than 12 hours, YouTube can automatically archive it for you. This option applies to all types of live streams, including: encoder, webcam, and mobile. YouTube will also automatically archive streams of 1440p and 2160p (4K) video resolution. We recommend recording a local archive as a backup. You can create highlight clips
while your stream is still live.
Note:If your stream exceeds 12 hours, it may not be captured at all.
