Recording Tango: bot or screen recording?
There are two common ways to save a Tango live: record your phone screen, or use a bot that records for you. Here is what changes.
| Screen recording | TangoCapture Pro bot | |
|---|---|---|
| Quality | Your screen's, re-compressed | What Tango streams, not re-encoded |
| Notifications and UI | Show up in the video | Don't show up |
| Your phone | On and in the app the whole live | Close it or use it for something else |
| Long lives | Fill your phone storage | Arrive in the chat, in parts if very long |
| Auto-watch | No | Yes, on some plans |
| Price | Free | Free plan; paid plans with Stars |
When screen recording is enough
For a short clip of something you are watching right now, your phone's screen recorder works and needs nothing else.
When the bot is worth it
For long lives, to keep your phone free, or to get a clean, good-quality video. The free plan lets you try it: 2 lives a day of up to 10 minutes.
FAQ
Do I need to install anything?
No. It works inside Telegram, on phone or PC.
Does the bot record lives I don't have access to?
