Stream Recordings — Sell After You're Off Air

Public streams (and private streams, optionally) can be auto-saved as Stream Recordings — paid VOD content that fans buy after the live ends. For most creators, the post-stream revenue from recordings exceeds what was earned during the live itself.

How to enable

1. Before going live, in the stream setup, toggle Auto-record on.
2. The stream is recorded automatically while you're broadcasting.
3. When you end the stream, the recording is processed (5–15 minutes for short streams, longer for long streams).
4. The recording lands in your Vault.

You can choose to:

• Publish as PPV at a price you set.
• Send to specific fans as a DM PPV (good for fans who messaged you that they couldn't make the live).
• Keep private in the vault.

Pricing Stream Recordings

Pricing patterns:

| Stream type | Recording price | |---|---| | Public stream | 200–800 FB | | Subscriber-only stream | 300–1,000 FB (subscribers free, others pay) | | Private stream (already ticketed) | 70–80% of original ticket price | | Battle / collab | 500–1,500 FB |

Subscribers can be given free access to recordings of subscriber-only streams (this drives subscription value). Set the subscriber price to 0 and the non-subscriber price higher.

Lifetime PPV access

Stream Recordings sold as PPV are subject to the lifetime access guarantee. Fans who buy a Stream Recording keep it forever, even if you remove it or close your account.

When to publish vs hold

Publish immediately if:

• The stream had high tip volume (signal of demand).
• You promoted "the recording will be available" during the live.
• You won't have time to edit.

Hold and edit if:

• You can cut down to a tighter version (15–20% shorter).
• You want to add intro/outro graphics.
• The raw recording has long technical pauses.

A polished 30-minute Stream Recording outsells a raw 90-minute one in most cases.

Stream Recording promotions

After publishing:

• Mention in your next post — "The full stream from last night is available now."
• DM the recording to specific fans who messaged you about missing the live.
• Mass message to subscribers.
• Bundle with future PPV — "Buy this, get the next stream recording free."

Stream Recordings as a series

Some creators build a back catalog of Stream Recordings that fans can binge-buy:

• Tag recordings by topic / season / theme.
• Bundle them as a "complete series" PPV.
• Cross-link from the most recent recording to the prior one.

For high-volume streamers, the back catalog can become a substantial passive revenue stream over months.

What gets removed

If a Stream Recording is removed by Fansit for a content-policy violation, fans who bought it get FanBucks credit refunds and the recording is permanently deleted.

You can also remove your own recordings any time. Fans who already bought keep their copy in their Purchases tab (lifetime access).

Storage

Stream Recordings live in your vault. They count against your storage cap (typically several hundred GB per account, raised on request).

If you don't plan to publish a recording, delete it from the vault to free up space — but make sure you really don't want it. Once deleted, it's gone.
