No featured clip for that signal yet.
One score, every second, against the channel's own threshold. No black box: the formula is readable, and every clip shows which signal fired.
Baseline. Nothing to clip.
Pro watches ten channels at once, Starter three, and the free plan one, with no card and no time limit. Twitch and Kick, in the same dashboard. Each channel is scored against its own threshold, and the one that crosses lands in your review queue with its video file. Add a channel before it goes live: it is rechecked every 30 seconds until it is, and monitoring stops after 8 hours without you opening the dashboard.
A real Twitch clip, made through the official Twitch API under your account, plus the video file. Highlight clips too.
Kick has no clip API, so Highlightz cuts the file from the live broadcast itself. Same signals, same review queue, same editor.
Start free and stay free. There is no card to enter and no time limit on it. Upgrade when you want. The plans differ on the rows below and nowhere else.

Move between them whenever you like. Cancel from the Account tab. No contracts. Streamers can opt out at any time, and it applies everywhere at once.
Clip Editor · Coming soon
Every clip Highlightz catches will be reframable for vertical, titled and cut, right where it landed — in the browser, on your machine, with nothing waiting on a render queue. It is built and in testing; it opens to Pro accounts shortly.
Press Edit on a clip in your queue or library and it opens in the editor with the video already there. Nothing to download first, nothing to upload back.
Cam + Game, Full Frame, Blur Bars, Punch In, Hook Title: the shapes streamer clips actually ship in on TikTok, Shorts and Reels. One press, then drag the picture to frame it.
A zoom punch, fades, a title that rises in, and a whoosh, hit or pop on the cut. Small, and they render into the file exactly as you hear them.
Generated on our server from the clip's own audio, then burned in with each word lit as it is spoken. Outline or boxed, your size, your position.
Exports are cut frame by frame, up to 1080×1920 at 60 fps, at the bitrate the clip came in at. The file is the clip, never a recording of the preview.
Scheduler · Coming soon
Connect your YouTube and Instagram accounts once and the Scheduler will post your clips to them for you, at the time you set; TikTok will be one press from the clip. In testing with the platforms now.
YouTube and Instagram Reels, from the Scheduler tab; TikTok posts from the clip with one press. Your account stays yours; Highlightz only holds what it needs to post.
Every export will land in the queue. Give it a time and Highlightz will post it for you, with your caption, to every account you chose. Or press Post now.
Written once, used everywhere, and checked against each platform's length, ratio and format limits before it goes out, so the upload page never says no.

The short answers. The walkthrough has the long ones, screen by screen.
It watches a live Twitch channel for you. Every second it blends seven live signals — chat speed, keywords, emotes, sentiment, audio, viewer movement and silence — into one score and checks it against that channel's own threshold. When the score crosses, it asks Twitch to make a real Twitch clip of that moment through the official Clips API and keeps the video file, and the clip lands in your review queue. Twitch makes and hosts the Twitch clip, under your account; the file is what you download, edit for vertical and post. On Kick, which has no clip API, the file is the clip.
Yes. That is what most people use it for. Add any live Twitch or Kick channel. On Twitch the clip is created with your authorized account, exactly as if you had pressed Twitch's own Clip button while watching: Twitch hosts it and it is attributed to you, same as a manual clip. On Kick the clip is the video file Highlightz saves for you.
Yes, on every plan. Switch to Kick at the top of the dashboard and add a channel the same way. Kick has no clip API, so there is no Kick-hosted clip: Highlightz cuts the video file from the live broadcast the moment the score crosses, and that file is what lands in your review queue and plays in the Clip Library, ready to download. You can sign in with Kick or with Twitch; to clip Twitch channels from a Kick account, connect Twitch once from the Account tab, because a Twitch clip is made under your own Twitch login. Highlight clips are Twitch-only.
No. The watching happens on our servers, not in your browser. Add a channel, close the tab, shut the laptop. If the channel is not live yet it is rechecked every 30 seconds until it is. Monitoring stops after 8 hours without you opening the dashboard, so a forgotten tab does not run forever.
1 on Free, 3 on Starter, 10 on Pro. At the same time, not in rotation, and each one carries its own profile so a busy channel and a quiet one do not interfere with each other.
Yes, and this is the whole point of scoring each channel against itself. A five-viewer chat and a fifty-thousand-viewer chat are judged the same way, because the formula learns what is normal for each channel and reacts to relative spikes rather than raw numbers.
No. It runs on a transparent mathematical formula you can read. Watch the score move in real time on the Live Streams screen, then open any clip to see which signals fired and how strongly.
Every clip lands in your review queue first. Approve the keepers, reject the misses. The formula learns from each decision: rejections raise that channel's bar, approvals lower it, so it steadily tunes toward your taste. There is also a preset per channel (FPS, MOBA, Just Chatting, IRL, Chess and more) that decides where it starts, and a sensitivity dial for a stream running hotter or quieter than usual.
20 clips can sit waiting on Free, 50 on Starter, 200 on Pro. When the queue is full the newest arrival is dropped, and nothing you have already caught is ever deleted to make room for it. The dashboard tells you how many moments were missed that way, so a full queue is something you find out about rather than something that happens silently.
The clips to look at first. Alongside the score, Highlightz has a second way of finding moments, and the clips it finds arrive in your review queue marked Highlight, in purple. They are usually the higher-quality clips: the ones most likely to travel. When a Highlight clip also carries a green label, it stood out even more, and those are the best clips you will get. Each one is already a real Twitch clip, hosted by Twitch.
The formula's clips are made by Highlightz when the score crosses the channel's line, and the card shows which signals fired. A Highlight clip is found a different way, one we keep to ourselves, so it carries no trigger score and its card says why it is there instead. Rejecting one does not move the channel's threshold, because the formula never claimed it. And they can never take more than half of the review queue, so a Highlight clip is never the reason a clip the formula caught did not land.
They have their own budget on top of the review queue: 5 on Free, 25 on Starter, 75 on Pro. Approve one and it is kept like any other clip; the Clip Library files them under their own Highlights row.
How many clips you can approve into your library in a week: 30 on Free, 100 on Starter, unlimited on Pro. Reaching the number pauses new approvals until the week rolls over. Nothing already in your library is ever removed because of it.
All three are Pro. The VOD Scanner is live today; the Clip Editor and the Scheduler are built and in testing, and open to Pro accounts shortly. The VOD Scanner runs the same scoring over a stream that has already ended, so a back catalogue nobody was watching live is still worth mining, and every hit links to its own timestamp in the VOD. The Clip Editor opens any clip you have caught with one press, reframes it for vertical with five templates, adds a title, transitions and a sound on the cut, and exports it frame by frame at up to 1080×1920, in your browser, with nothing waiting on a render queue. The Scheduler takes every clip you export and posts it to the YouTube and Instagram accounts you connect, at the time you pick, with one caption checked against each platform's limits first; TikTok you post with one press, on TikTok's own posting screen. Disconnect an account and Highlightz forgets its login. TikTok may land a post as private until TikTok finishes reviewing the Highlightz app; you set it public in TikTok.
Clips are created through Twitch's official Clips API with your authorized account, the same mechanism as Twitch's own Clip button. So you can download, edit and post a clip, Highlightz also keeps a video file of it for your account: recorded from the live public broadcast as it is transmitted where possible, and otherwise fetched from Twitch when you ask for it. That file is private to you, is deleted with the clip, is never kept for a channel that has opted out, and is never publicly re-hosted. You are responsible for what you do with a clip of a channel you do not own; see the Terms.
They can opt out at any time on our opt-out page, and it takes effect immediately across every account, with nothing to email and nobody to wait on. A channel that has opted out cannot be added by anyone.
Not the whole stream, and never a channel that has opted out. While a channel is being monitored, Highlightz holds a few minutes of it in a rolling buffer that is continuously overwritten, so that when a moment hits it can be saved as a video file as well as a Twitch clip. Nothing else is kept: the buffer is thrown away when monitoring stops, and a saved file lives under your account only, for up to 30 days, and goes when you delete the clip or your account. On Twitch the clip itself is also a real Twitch clip, hosted by Twitch and attributed to you. Full detail is in the Privacy Policy.
Free is free: it asks for no card and it never expires. Starter is $10 a month and Pro is $25 a month. Move between them whenever you like and cancel from the Account tab. Cancelling puts you back on Free, and every clip you approved stays in your library.
