Android includes screen recording on many devices, but manufacturer battery rules, calls and notification overlays can interrupt long sessions. SoopRec records the source outside the phone.
Add the SOOP Live creator
From Telegram, send /watch SOOPREC_ID for automatic future recording. Use /rec SOOPREC_ID for a live that is already public and playable. If a display name is rejected or ambiguous, copy the creator ID or official SOOP Live share URL.
Let Android sleep normally
After confirmation, the recording no longer depends on Telegram staying open. Android can close the app, dim the screen or change networks without stopping SoopRec.
Telegram may delay the final notification when battery optimization is aggressive. Opening the bot later will still show the delivered recording.
Download or share the finished MP4
Telegram lets you stream first and download later. On devices with limited space, disable automatic downloads for large videos. Long lives may arrive as numbered parts so that each file fits Telegram's delivery rules.
Why might a live fail to start?
SOOP Live must expose a usable public stream. A profile can appear active before its video becomes available. The bot does not start until SoopRec verifies a supported public source.
Can SoopRec record in the background for free?
Free accounts can monitor two creators and receive the first hour according to the plan contract. Paid plans increase watchlist, duration and simultaneous-recording capacity.
