Quick answer
Can Klippah clip YouTube live streams?
Yes, once the stream has ended and the replay is published. Add the channel as a target to clip each new stream automatically. Klippah is an AI clipping tool that watches the Twitch and YouTube channels you choose and turns every new VOD into captioned vertical clips for Shorts, Reels and TikTok.
How it works
- Step 1
Paste a link or connect a channel
Drop in a Twitch VOD, a YouTube video or podcast, or connect a Twitch/YouTube channel and Klippah watches it for new uploads.
- Step 2
AI finds the moments
Klippah transcribes the video, picks the hooks people actually watch and cuts them into vertical 9:16 clips with captions.
- Step 3
Review and post
Approve the clips you like, then download them or schedule them straight to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and Facebook.

Watch a YouTube channel, get Shorts
Add a YouTube channel as a target. Klippah checks it every few minutes, looking at past live streams first and regular uploads for channels that do not stream. When something new is published, a clipping job starts automatically. The first check only notes the latest video, so the back catalogue is not clipped.
Prefer one video at a time? Paste any YouTube link and Klippah clips just that video.
Post Shorts back to YouTube on a schedule
Connect your YouTube account and schedule clips as they finish. Klippah confirms each upload with YouTube before showing it as posted. You can cross-post the same clip to Instagram and Facebook, and export it for TikTok.
Streams longer than 90 minutes need Creator or higher, which accepts videos up to 180 minutes.
