MICO lives can begin while you are away from your phone and can end before you have time to start a screen recorder. MicoRec moves the recording step to a media service and uses Telegram for commands and delivery.
1. Find the stable MICO ID
Open the creator profile or public live and copy the numeric MICO ID. A display name is not enough: names can change and two people can use similar text. An official MICO share link is also accepted because it contains a stable public creator identifier.
2. Start a one-time recording
Open @micorec_bot and send /rec MICO_ID. MicoRec checks the public MICO directory, confirms that a playable stream is available and creates one recording. If the creator is offline, the bot tells you instead of creating an empty video.
3. Use the watchlist for future lives
Send /watch MICO_ID when you want automatic monitoring. The Free plan tracks up to two creators. Basic and Pro increase watchlist and simultaneous-recording capacity. Monitoring does not enter private rooms or bypass platform controls.
4. Wait for the creator to finish
The recording continues until the public source ends, you request a stop or a plan-specific limit applies. MicoRec verifies the completed media before delivery. Telegram receives the MP4 and a contact sheet; large recordings can arrive as ordered video parts.
Does MicoRec reduce the video quality?
MicoRec copies the public video and audio streams whenever their format allows it. It does not intentionally resize a 720p stream to a smaller resolution. The maximum quality is still the quality MICO publishes for that live.
Can MicoRec record a private MICO room?
No. MicoRec works only with a public stream exposed by MICO and never asks for a MICO password.
