Bilibili Live Stream Recorder and VOD Archive

Bilibili overview -- gaming and vtubing audience

Bilibili is China’s largest video and live streaming platform with over 336 million monthly active users. It functions somewhere between YouTube, Twitch, and a community forum – video hosting, live streaming, and fandom all in one place. The live streaming side has grown substantially since 2020.

No native download -- the gap StreamRecorder fills

The problem for international viewers is that Bilibili has no native download function. Live replays are available for a window after broadcast but expire. The platform’s own tools are built for a Chinese-language audience on domestic app stores, which doesn’t help anyone outside China trying to save a replay.

StreamRecorder supports Bilibili live recordings and VOD archives automatically. Add a creator to your account and every time they go live, the recording starts from the first second – whether your computer is on or not. Recordings are stored in the cloud and available to watch or download whenever you want.

Geo-restrictions and VPN requirements

Some content is geo-restricted by Bilibili -- if the broadcast requires a mainland China IP address, a VPN is needed before StreamRecorder can reach it. No account required for publicly accessible content.

International audience

The primary audience here is international fans of Bilibili creators in gaming, music, and vtubing. Bilibili hosts a significant portion of the active Chinese vtuber community and has real crossover with the global vtuber fanbase. Those viewers follow specific creators closely and want archive access that Bilibili’s own platform doesn’t provide.
