PandaLive Recorder & Replay Options

Korean PandaLive (pandalive.co.kr / 팬더티비)—often searched as Panda Live—does not give regular viewers a download button, and recording another creator's stream without permission can get your account banned. Here are the safe ways to watch replays, save your own streams as a BJ, or set up creator-approved recording.

What this site is: An independent how-to reference. We do not host a stream downloader, accept channel links, or unlock private rooms.

Start With What You Want to Do

What works—and what is allowed on PandaLive—depends on whether you are watching, broadcasting, or editing for a creator.

For Viewers

Watch a Past Broadcast

Use PandaLive's built-in Replays (다시보기) on the website or official mobile app to catch up on missed shows without extra software.

  • Available whenever the BJ leaves replays enabled
  • Streams inside PandaLive only (no MP4 export)

For Broadcasters (BJs)

Save Your Own Streams

Record a high-quality copy directly to your computer while streaming live, or check your PC Web channel history for eligible past archives.

  • Instant local recording in OBS or PRISM Live Studio
  • PC Web 채널 → 방송내역 download check

Explicit Consent Needed

Record Clips With BJ Permission

Authorized clip editors and channel managers can capture browser playback cleanly—always get the BJ's permission before recording.

  • Isolates stream audio from desktop alerts
  • Never record 팬방, password, or 19+ rooms

Simultaneous Local OBS / PRISM Recording (외부 앱에서 방송하기)

PandaLive retired its legacy standalone PC broadcaster player and supports external RTMP encoders via 방송하기 → 외부 앱에서 방송하기 (recommended live cap: ≤ 8,000 kbps video, ≤ 320 kbps AAC audio). Recording locally while you broadcast saves a master copy immediately with zero 24-hour server wait.

Recommended Configuration

  • Hardware Encoder Choice: Select Use stream encoder in OBS Recording settings for near-zero extra GPU load (~3.5 GiB/hr at 1080p), or use dedicated NVENC / QuickSync / AMF CQP 18–21 for high-motion dance (Panda Class) masters.
  • Isolate 팬더티비 도우미 Alerts: Send your mixed live feed (Mic + BGM + donation chimes) to Track 1, isolated Microphone to Track 2, and BGM to Track 3 inside a multi-track .mkv file for clean highlight editing.
  • Backup Comparison: Unlike PC-Web 채널 → 방송내역 downloads (documented in a Sept 30, 2022 notice with a 24h wait and 7-day limit), local OBS files never expire or get purged.

Why "Online PandaLive Downloader" Sites Fail

Websites that promise MP4 downloads from a pasted pandalive.co.kr link rarely work on real broadcasts—and can put your account at risk:

  • Locked Room Access: External servers cannot open Fan Rooms (팬방), password rooms, full rooms (풀방), or adult-verified (19+) streams.
  • Account & Heart Theft Risk: Extensions or bots asking for your PandaLive login or cookies expose your paid Hearts (하트) and can trigger Overseas Login Block (해외 로그인 차단) lockouts.

  • Check Live Broadcast History: Broadcaster PC-Web downloads (채널 → 방송내역, 24h–7d window) were announced on September 30, 2022; always check your live account menu, as retention policies can change.
