    The compact save notice shows discovery, waiting, download and conversion. Keep the Kick page open until it finishes.

The replay button uses the duration saved in Player settings.

Which moment gets saved?

The requested moment is frozen when you click. Waiting for a file picker or retry does not silently move the clip to a later moment. A rewound player uses its DVR position; a paused player uses its last observed position.

Waiting, retries and cancellation

Kick's growing DVR may trail live playback. After a save request, UltimateKick can wait up to 45 seconds for the frozen moment. It does not keep polling or recording media while replay is idle. Temporary failed media requests get bounded retries; Cancel stops the work and pending waits.

Common questions

Does enabling replay continuously record my streams?

No. Media is read on demand when you request a save.

Can I save more than 180 seconds this way?

The replay control is limited to 180 seconds. For longer material, use a supported VOD download or start a recording.

Can it resume after closing the page?

No. Keep the owning page open until saving and finalization complete.
