Kick keeps a VOD for up to 30 days on a verified channel and 7 days on every other channel. A channel can also hold only so many replays at once, 30 for verified and 16 for the rest. When Kick deletes a VOD on its own, it can’t bring it back. Pinning is the one way to keep a VOD for good, and only some channels can do it. Every number below comes from Kick’s own help pages, and we checked them. Every number below comes from Kick’s own help pages, which we last checked on October 26, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Kick VOD Storage Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kick saves each stream as a VOD when it ends. It isn’t instant. Kick says processing takes a few minutes for a short stream and longer for a long one, and it suggests waiting up to an hour before you worry about a long broadcast. If your connection drops and comes back mid-stream, Kick may split the stream into several VODs, so look in your dashboard for the other parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two limits apply at the same time. One is time, which is 30 days or 7 days after the stream ends. The other is count, which is 30 or 16 replays at once. When the time runs out, Kick deletes the VOD automatically. Its support team says it can’t recover a VOD that was auto deleted. Kick also says that deleting a VOD yourself lowers your total stream time by the length of that stream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the Replay Cap Hits Before the Calendar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a point most guides skip. Kick lists both limits but doesn’t say which one wins. Still, the numbers show who should care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
