How to find old Twitch clips from a specific date

Guide · October 23, 2026

You remember a moment from a stream, and roughly when it happened, but you can't find it. On Twitch, a channel's clips can only be sorted by the last 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or all time. If the channel has years of history, there's no way to ask for "the best clips from March 2021". This guide shows how to do it.

Where Twitch falls short

On any streamer's page, the clips section sorts clips by views within four fixed periods: 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days and all time. That's fine for recent clips. Older ones are the problem:

• The all time list is always dominated by the same viral clips. A great moment from two years ago with "only" a few thousand views ends up buried hundreds of spots down.
• There's no filter for a month, a year or a date range.
• Scrolling down to a specific period is slow, and the list isn't sorted by date.

Twitch's official API, on the other hand, can return clips from a date range. AllTimeClips uses that API: it splits the period you pick into chunks, gets the most viewed clips of each one and merges them into a single ranking.

Step by step

1. Search for the channel or category. In the search tool, type the streamer's name or pick a category, such as Minecraft or Just Chatting.
2. Pick the period. There are shortcuts for 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days, a year and month picker, and an exact range with "From" and "To" dates.
3. Search. Results are sorted from most to least viewed, with each clip's date, length and views.
4. Use the activity chart. It shows which days had the most clips. Tap a bar or a date to jump straight to that moment.
5. Filter if needed by words in the title, language, who made the clip, length or number of views.
6. Watch the clip with Twitch's official player. If Twitch still has the full broadcast, you can watch it from the moment of the clip.

Tips for finding that clip

Go from broad to narrow

If you're not sure of the date, start with the whole year. Check the chart to see which months were busiest, then narrow the period down. It's faster than trying one month at a time.

Try different words from the title

A clip's title is written by whoever made it, not by the streamer. The same moment can have clips called "LMAO", "no way" or a guest's name. If you filter by title, try several short words.

Search the category when the game matters

If you remember the game but not the channel, search the category on that date. This works well for events: the day a game came out, a tournament final or the start of a new season. Each clip stays in the category the stream had when the clip was made.

Turn on "Include clips with few views"

Normally the search gets the most viewed clips of each chunk, which is all a ranking needs. If you're looking for one specific clip that got few views, turn this option on. It's slower, so it works on periods of up to one month.

Why a clip sometimes doesn't show up

• It was deleted. The streamer or the person who made the clip can delete it, and Twitch can remove it if it breaks its rules.
• The channel is no longer available, for example because Twitch suspended it or the streamer closed it.
• It has few views and the low-view option is off.
• The date isn't what you thought. A clip's date is the moment it was made. If someone clipped it days later from the saved video, it has that date, not the date of the stream. Try widening the range by a few days on each side.

Shortcut: each channel's most viewed clips

If you just want the best of the week, the last month or all time, there are ready-made pages with the most viewed clips of the most popular streamers and games, such as Minecraft or Just Chatting. For any other date, use the search tool.
