Frequently Asked Questions: PandaLive Recording, Replays & Access

Does pandaliverecorder.com offer an online PandaLive stream downloader?

No. pandaliverecorder.com is an independent technical documentation website and hosts no stream-downloading software, URL rippers, cloud bots, or room-lock bypass tools. PandaLive's Viewing Standards (시청기준) prohibit creating or sharing recording files without the BJ's consent.

Can PandaLive broadcasters (BJs) download their own past broadcasts?

In a September 30, 2022 official notice (방송영상 다운로드 서비스 오픈 안내), PandaLive announced a PC-Web-only Broadcast Video Download Service under Channel → Broadcast History (채널 → 방송내역), allowing broadcasters to download eligible sessions starting 24 hours after stream end for 7 days (up to 2 concurrent file preparations and 5 downloads per entry, excluding blinded or warned streams). Because platform retention rules can change without external notice, broadcasters should check their live Broadcast History menu on pandalive.co.kr and record simultaneous local .mkv files in OBS Studio or PRISM Live Studio as their primary backup. See the Desktop Capture Guide.

Can viewers record a PandaLive stream for personal offline viewing without asking the BJ?

PandaLive's published Viewing Standards (시청기준) explicitly prohibit arbitrarily creating recording files or distributing them without the BJ's consent (BJ의 동의 없이 임의로 녹화 파일을 생성하거나 이를 유포하는 행위). Accounts sanctioned for violating Viewing Standards face unwarned termination, blacklisting, and non-refundable forfeiture of remaining Hearts (하트) and entry tickets. Use official 다시보기 replays instead, or obtain explicit creator permission first.

Why can I log into PandaLive with Google or Apple, yet still cannot open certain rooms?

PandaLive separates basic social sign-in (Naver, Kakao, Google, Apple) from room-level access gates. Adult-rated (19금) broadcasts require South Korean identity verification (본인인증 via a Korean mobile carrier or I-PIN), Fan-Club rooms (팬방) require fan-tier membership, password rooms require a creator passcode, and full rooms (풀방) require an open slot or a paid Full-Room Entry Ticket (풀방 입장권). Details are covered in Replays & Room Types.

Why did PandaLive discontinue its standalone PC broadcaster player?

PandaLive retired its legacy standalone PC broadcaster client to standardize 1080p high-definition streaming through external RTMP applications (OBS Studio, PRISM Live Studio, Streamlabs) via the Broadcast via External App (외부 앱에서 방송하기) menu, recommending up to 8,000 kbps video and 320 kbps audio.

Why does my authorized desktop browser capture show a black video window?

On Windows, Chrome and Edge hardware-accelerated video surfaces often appear black under legacy BitBlt window capture. Switch your OBS Window Capture method to Windows 10 (1903 and up), keep the browser window un-minimized, or toggle browser graphics acceleration in browser system settings. Step-by-step fixes are in Troubleshooting.
