Twitch clips are available on the platform until they are actively deleted. This means that clips are theoretically stored indefinitely and can be accessed by viewers at any time. For streamers who want to maintain their channels in the long term and build up an archive, this is an ideal way to permanently record highlights and important moments.
However, you should note that Twitch occasionally adjusts policies and makes changes to the clip system. It is therefore advisable to download important clips regularly in case they are no longer available one day.
