- Audio only: M4A keeps the original sound; MP3 is available for replays up to 30 minutes.
Good to know
Long streams are big: an hour at 1080p is about 2.5 GB. Choose 720p or 480p if you’re short on space, and keep the page open until the file is saved.
Some creators turn replays off. If a finished stream has no replay, there’s nothing left to download.
Where the files go on iPhone
Safari saves downloads to the Files app, in iCloud Drive › Downloads (or On My iPhone › Downloads if iCloud Drive is off).
To move a video to the Photos app, open it in Files, tap Share and choose “Save Video”. It then appears in your Camera Roll like any recording.
iPhone tip
On a phone, 720p is usually the sweet spot: sharp on a 6-inch screen and roughly half the size of 1080p.

Can I download X Spaces?
