About My Chat Video Downloader

The name My Chat gets confused with messaging apps all the time, so to be clear: this extension is for mychat.com, the live cam site where performers broadcast to viewers in public rooms. If that is the site you meant, the mychat.com cam recorder lets you keep a public show by saving its live video and sound to your computer as an MP4. It does not record messages, calls or anything from a chat app.

Using it is straightforward. When you are in a room that is live and public, you will see a Download button on the My Chat video player; click it and choose a quality to start recording. The toolbar popup offers another way in, with extra detail: the room name, the qualities on offer, Start and Stop and a timer. If you are a right-click person, choose Download My Chat Stream. It keeps recording until you press Stop in the popup, click the X on the progress panel, or the performer finishes.

The video and audio are combined on your computer into an MP4 file, H.264 video and AAC audio. Your browser does the work locally, so recordings are never uploaded to SERP, and the extension has no ads or trackers. Each file is named after the room and saved in a MYCHAT folder in Downloads. Quality follows the option you chose from what the room broadcasts, and a notification confirms each save.

It supports Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Whale and Yandex on Windows, macOS and Linux. Three recordings are free once you sign in with an email, with no card needed; to continue, it's $17 a month, cancel anytime. Recording covers public shows that are live, beginning at your Start press, and the tab needs to stay open for the whole time.
