Record AmateurTV in 5 steps

Free to start, and the same steps on Windows, macOS and Linux.

  1. Step 1: Install CaptureGem

    CaptureGem is free to download and use, with no account needed. Download CaptureGem for Windows, macOS or Linux and open the desktop app.

    Leave the CaptureGem window open while recording: AmateurTV rooms are checked through CaptureGem's built-in browser to get past AmateurTV's bot protection, so the standalone recorder can't record AmateurTV by itself.

  2. Step 2: Copy the room link

    Example link

    https://www.amateur.tv/model_username

    Open the model's room and copy the address from the browser bar. The username is the last part of it.

    The names and numbers in these examples are placeholders; use the ones from the real page.

  3. Step 3: Add the stream

    Go to the Record tab and paste the link into Enter URL or Username in the Add Stream panel; CaptureGem switches Select Website to AmateurTV on its own. Prefer typing? Pick AmateurTV under Select Website and enter just the username.

    Keep Monitor Only switched off so the stream is saved, then click Add Stream.

  4. Step 4: Check the recording status

    While the model is in a public show, the row switches to Recording within a few seconds. Otherwise the Status column explains why nothing is being saved:

    Private
    The model is in a private chat.
    Offline
    The model is offline. A misspelled username shows Offline too, so check the spelling if a live model stays offline.
    Errored
    CaptureGem couldn't check or record the room.

    Hover over a status for more detail, such as the reason behind an Errored status.

  5. Step 5: Find your recording

    When a recording finishes, CaptureGem converts it into a video file; long recordings can take a little while. Open the Review tab to play, trim, tag or delete it, or click Open Video Folder on the Record tab.

    Recordings are MP4 files by default. With Premium, each file runs up to 60 minutes by default and auto-record starts the next one straight away. You can change the save location, the file length (Cap Video Segments at Duration (Minutes)) and the container in Settings.

Free version and Premium auto-record

The free version saves up to 5 minutes per recording and lets you add up to 10 models. It records a model when you add or start them while they are live, so if the model was offline, start the recording again later.

Premium removes those limits and adds auto-record: select the model on the Record tab, choose Modify Auto Record under Actions and pick Record Always. CaptureGem then records whenever the model comes online and restarts after a disconnect. To do this for every model you add, turn on Auto Record All Newly Added Models in Settings.

The Monitor tab shows live previews of everything you are recording.

AmateurTV notes and troubleshooting

  • "Request blocked by Cloudflare"

    AmateurTV's bot protection stopped the room check. Make sure the room opens in your browser, keep CaptureGem open and try again later.

  • Quality

    CaptureGem records the best quality the model streams. To save bandwidth and disk space, set an AmateurTV limit under Max Resolution Per Site in Settings > Advanced Settings.

  • "Selected variant has no audio group specified"

    The quality CaptureGem chose has no matching audio. Try a different Max Resolution Per Site limit for AmateurTV.

  • Private shows

    CaptureGem records public shows. If you can watch a private show in your own browser, Premium's Proxy feature can save it as well. See the proxy guide for Windows, macOS or Linux.

Still stuck?

If a recording keeps failing, update CaptureGem, check that the stream plays in your browser, and ask in our Discord community. Premium members can also send a failed recording to support.
