A watchlist tells Recfolder which Tango creators to check. It is useful when you cannot keep a player open yourself: the service performs the checks and recording attempts, and your Telegram conversation receives the result after processing.

This is a way to request future recordings. It does not retrieve unrecorded past broadcasts, guarantee a complete live, or provide access to restricted content. Add only creators whose content you have permission to record.

Add the right creator

1. Open the Recfolder recording bot.
2. Send /watch username, replacing username with the creator's Tango username.
3. Send /watchlist and check the entry. Similar display names can refer to different creators, so verify the account before waiting for a recording.

If the bot cannot resolve the username, check it against the creator's current Tango profile. If the problem persists, send /support and describe the failed action without sending passwords, payment details or private access credentials.

What happens after a creator goes live?

The service checks the watchlist periodically. When it detects a usable public live and a recording slot is available, it attempts to record within your plan's limits. After capture and processing, the bot delivers MP4 files through Telegram. A long recording can arrive in more than one part.

There can be a delay between the start of a broadcast and its detection. A live can end before a check, or source access, recording or delivery can fail. Priority monitoring on paid plans does not guarantee the first second or every broadcast. Keep a separate arrangement with the creator if a specific session must be preserved.

You can close Telegram while the service works. Reopening the conversation later does not restart or extend an earlier recording.

Watchlist size and recording capacity are different

| Plan | Watched creators | Active automatic recordings | Manual recordings at once | Recording duration limit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Free | 2 | 1 | 1 | First 60 minutes | | Basic | 25 | 25 | 10 | Up to 8 hours | | Pro | 100 | 100 | 25 | Up to 8 hours |

A watchlist entry is a creator to monitor, not a reserved slot for every possible live. Manual recording requests use a separate counter from watchlist auto-recording. Free selects a source up to 360p; paid plans can select HD when Tango makes it available. Source quality still sets the ceiling.

See current plans and prices before changing your subscription. Existing billing arrangements can differ from the offers displayed for new purchases.

Check a missing or incomplete recording

Start with /watchlist: was the correct creator present before the broadcast? Then check whether another recording occupied your available capacity and whether the session exceeded your duration limit. A creator being live in the app does not by itself prove that a playable source was available to the recorder.

For a partial file, check whether it reached the plan's duration cap or whether the source stopped. For a delivery question, look for additional parts in the bot conversation. Give /support the creator username, approximate broadcast time and any error shown. Avoid repeating manual requests while a recording is already in progress.

Find previous recordings separately

The public archive contains recordings already available through the service; it is separate from setting up future watchlist captures. Free accounts can unlock three public archive recordings per rolling 24 hours, and paid accounts can unlock 100. Recordings made for your own watchlist do not consume that public archive allowance.

Availability is not permanent. Save permitted files you need to keep, and follow the MP4 download steps. A recording link may stop working after a removal request or a change in service or Telegram availability.
