Common questions
How do I download a KakaoTV video or clip in 1080p MP4?
Copy the public tv.kakao.com/v/ or /cliplink/ URL, paste it into SMDownloader, and click Download. Our resolver queries the Katz API HIGH4 profile to deliver up to 1080p Full HD MP4.
Do play-tv.kakao.com embed links from Daum Cafe and Tistory work?
Yes. Standalone iframe player URLs (play-tv.kakao.com/embed/player/cliplink/{id}) resolve directly to the underlying clip without needing the blog page.
Do I need a KakaoAccount or Korean phone number to download?
No. Public KakaoTV videos and clips download in your browser without a KakaoAccount login. Only 19+ adult-gated broadcasts require account verification.
Can I record a live KakaoTV stream (/l/{liveId}) while it is airing?
No. Live broadcasts use real-time segmented streams. Wait until the broadcast ends and the channel publishes the VOD replay under a /v/{clipId} link.
