Twitch allows you to store your live streams for 14 days directly on your Twitch channel (60 days if you have Twitch Prime which is simply linking your Twitch account to your Amazon account if you have Amazon Prime). That said, you can have your video saved indefinitely by making them a Highlight. Just know that saving your videos on Twitch will allow anyone to view your video. If you wish to limit your audience to your class, you should save the video as you live stream and upload the video to your learning platform (Canvas, Blackboard, etc.).

To enable Twitch to store your live streams, go to “Settings -> Channel and Videos” and enable “Store past broadcasts”.
