# How to Download Kick VODs

### Requirements

In order to download Kick streams you will need a KickBot account. If you don't already have a KickBot account you can sign up on [kickbot.app](https://kickbot.app/). For guidance on how to get set up, follow [this guide](https://docs.kickbot.com/dashboard/creating-your-account). 

Every KickBot user can download VODs, however, Premium members can enjoy features such as VOD priority downloads, unlimited daily downloads, extended VOD download expiration and automatic VOD downloads.

### Setting up a VOD download

4. Once everything is in place click on "Download" to initiate the download process.
