AutoStream Download

Questions people ask

Short answers. The tutorials have the step-by-step ones.

Is it really free?

Yes. No paid version, no trial, no account. It is open source, so anyone can read the code on GitHub.

Do I need to stream to use it?

No. Most people only use it to make clips, reels and highlight videos. Give it any video of you playing, even an old one, and it works. Automatic streaming is an extra you can switch on later, or never.

Can I use an old recording?

Yes. Any video of you playing works, however old: a recording you made, or a stream you downloaded. Pick the file, drag the two handles to the part you want read, and it does the rest. You do not need to have had AutoStream open when you played.

For Valorant, the most exact results use match info from the Riot game client. AutoStream saves it while you play, and can fetch your last twenty matches later. Without it, it reads the kills off the screen.

Which games does it work with?

Valorant: kills from the match info, including multi-kills and clutches. Keep AutoStream open while you play so it can save that info.

Counter-Strike 2: kills from the recording. Save the match replay and it can also name rounds, clutches and kills through smoke.

Marvel Rivals: a video of each match with the waiting removed, plus a short highlight of its fights.

Delta Force: kills, with no setup.

Any other game: show it one example kill, which takes about a minute. Or let it find the loud moments in your audio. It calls those moments, not kills, because it cannot tell a kill from a death by sound.

Does it upload my recordings?

No. Recordings, clips and reels are saved in your Videos folder and stay there. There is no AutoStream server for them to go to. Uploading is up to you.

It only goes online for what you ask: your stream goes to YouTube, Twitch or Kick if you turn streaming on, a song link is fetched from YouTube, and Valorant match details come from the Riot game client on your own PC.

Do I need another app?

Not for clips, reels or highlights. AutoStream cuts video with a free tool called ffmpeg. On Windows it offers to install it for you the first time; on a Mac it is one line to paste.

Only if you want AutoStream to go live for you does it need OBS, the free streaming app, and it sets OBS up itself. See Set up automatic streaming.

Can it make vertical Shorts?

Yes. Every clip can come with a tall 1080 by 1920 version, with a caption on it, ready for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels or TikTok. Song reels are tall by default.

Can I edit it after it's made?

Yes. Reels open on a timeline where you can move, trim and change every shot. Highlight videos open in an editor where you can remove moments, zoom on your face, fix captions and change the volume. Nothing is made again until you press the button, and the original is never changed.

Do captions work on every PC?

No. Captions are optional, and for now they need a Windows PC with a supported NVIDIA graphics card, plus a one-time download of a few gigabytes. AutoStream shows the size and asks before downloading. Everything else, including the highlight video itself, works without them.

Does it work on a Mac?

Yes, for clips and song reels, including the reel's timeline. Automatic live streaming and captions are Windows only. Record on your PC, copy the video to the Mac, and cut it there. The install guide shows the one extra step.

Can I choose my own song?

Yes. Pick a song file from your PC, or paste a YouTube link and only the audio is downloaded. You choose which part of the song to use. Whether you may publish a song is between you and whoever owns it.

Can it understand funny reactions?

Partly. It hears when you get much louder than you normally talk, so it catches the shouting, the hype and the rage, and it puts those moments in your clips and highlights. It does not yet know a laugh from a scream. With captions on, it writes down what you said, in English or Hinglish.

Windows warned me when I opened it. Is it safe?

The app is new and not signed yet, and signing costs money every year, so Windows treats it as unknown. Choose More info, then Run anyway. Every release is built on GitHub's own machines from the public source, with a checksum beside each file if you want to check what you downloaded.

Something broke. Where do I report it?

Open an issue on GitHub. The Logs page in the app explains most problems in a sentence; include that line if you can, after checking it for anything private.
