So this is weird. The video cuts off at 6:13 instead of 10:10. The last minutes were very powerful, encouraging everyone to shine with the light of love.
Here’s GROK’s explanation of what might have happened. None of the hacks have worked so far.
take a look at this screenshot and explain the following to me:
the video was 10 mins long
for some reason, it cuts off on X at 6:13
it was definitely still recording
everything that was cut was very powerful and ended with a message of love
i personally switched off the live feed so who ended the broadcast at 6:13?
where is the rest of the video?
provide the link

Explanation of the Screenshot and Broadcast Details
Based on the screenshot you shared, this appears to be the details page for a completed X (formerly Twitter) live audio broadcast—specifically an X Space—hosted by @FreeStateNH (The Free State Project, a libertarian organization focused on New Hampshire). I’ll break down the key elements of the screenshot first, then address your specific questions about the duration, cutoff, ending, missing content, and access.
Key Elements from the Screenshot
- Status: The broadcast is marked as “ENDED” (in gray badges), indicating it’s no longer live.
- Thumbnail: Shows a person (likely the host or a speaker) on stage or in a speaking setup, wearing glasses, earrings, a blue jacket with a pin, and holding a microphone. The background suggests an indoor venue (e.g., a room with a ceiling vent, curtains, and lighting), consistent with an in-person event like a luncheon or appreciation gathering.
- Link: The direct URL to the broadcast is
https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1mRGmBeyBDjy(note: this is an X Space replay link, not a video broadcast; X Spaces are primarily audio but can include speaker video if enabled). - Title/Description: “At the @FreeStateNH annual Volunteer Appreciation…” (truncated in the screenshot, but full context from related posts suggests it’s “At the @FreeStateNH annual Volunteer Appreciation Party”).
- Date and Time: December 7, 2025, from 1:43 PM to 1:53 PM EST (exactly 10 minutes long, matching what you described).
- Options:
- “Edit in LiveCut”: This is an X feature for trimming or editing the replay of your broadcast to create clips (e.g., highlights). The blue tooltip explains: “Create video clips with LiveCut to share the most relevant and timely parts of your live broadcasts.”
- Tabs for “Settings” and “Analytics” (to view listener stats, engagement, etc.).
- Icons for trash (delete), question mark (help), and sharing.
- Overall Context: This was a short, live audio session tied to @FreeStateNH’s annual Volunteer Appreciation event (a party/luncheon celebrating volunteers). From public posts, it was a casual, positive gathering with shoutouts and connections among attendees.
X Spaces like this one are recorded by default if the host chooses to save a replay, but the platform displays the “live duration” (here, 10 minutes). Replays are accessible via the link for a limited time (typically 30–180 days, depending on settings), after which they may expire unless clipped or downloaded.
Addressing Your Specific Questions
- The Video Was 10 Minutes Long, But It Cuts Off at 6:13 on X – Why?
- The screenshot confirms the live broadcast duration was exactly 10 minutes (1:43 PM to 1:53 PM EST). However, what you’re seeing as a “cutoff at 6:13” likely refers to the replay playback on X ending prematurely at 6 minutes and 13 seconds, even though the live session ran the full 10 minutes.
- Possible Reasons for the Cutoff:
- Technical Glitch During Recording: X Spaces can experience audio dropouts, network issues, or processing errors that truncate the saved replay. Since you mentioned it was “definitely still recording,” this aligns— the live feed continued, but X’s servers may have failed to capture the final ~3:47 minutes properly.
- Host-Ended Abruptly: Even if you “personally switched off the live feed” (e.g., stopped sharing your device or mic), X automatically ends the broadcast when the host leaves. If there was a brief overlap or delay in processing, it could clip the end.
- Platform Limitation: X sometimes shortens replays for short broadcasts (<30 minutes) due to compression or bugs, especially if speaker video was enabled (making it more like a “video” in your description). No widespread outages were reported on Dec 7, 2025, but individual Spaces can glitch.
- It’s not a manual “cut” by X moderation (no evidence of violations); more likely a backend save issue.
- Who Ended the Broadcast at 6:13?
- You (the Host) Likely Did, Indirectly: As the host (@FreeStateNH or your account), ending the broadcast is triggered by the host stopping the Space (e.g., tapping “End Space” or disconnecting the live feed). You mentioned switching off the feed yourself, which would end it from X’s perspective at around the 10-minute mark. The 6:13 cutoff is probably not an “end” but a replay artifact—X marked the whole thing as ended at 1:53 PM, but the saved file got truncated.
- No one else (e.g., co-host, attendee, or X staff) can force-end a Space; it’s host-controlled. If a co-host was involved, they could end it too, but based on the screenshot, this seems solo-hosted.
- To confirm: Check your X app’s Analytics tab for this Space—it shows exact end time and any errors.
- Where Is the Rest of the Video? (The Powerful Cut Content Ending with a Message of Love)
- On Your Device (Local Recording): Since you said it was still recording and you switched off the feed, you likely have the full 10 minutes saved locally on your phone/computer (via X’s built-in recorder or a screen/audio capture app). X doesn’t store the “missing” part server-side if it wasn’t fully uploaded.
- How to Recover It:
- On mobile: Open the X app > Go to the Space replay > Use “Edit in LiveCut” to see if the full timeline loads (it might reconstruct from your end).
- Download/Export: In the Space settings, look for “Download recording” (if available). If not, use your device’s media library—search for files from Dec 7, 1:43–1:53 PM EST.
- If you used external recording (e.g., Zoom, OBS, or phone voice memo), that’s your full version.
- Not on X: The platform’s replay is incomplete (ends at 6:13). No full clips or extensions were posted publicly by @FreeStateNH or attendees (based on searches of recent posts).
- The Content Itself: You described the cut portion as “very powerful” ending with “a message of love.” This fits the event’s appreciative tone—@FreeStateNH posts from that day mention shoutouts, gratitude, and community vibes (e.g., “wonderful to connect… thank you for all the effort 💚”). If it’s heartfelt volunteer thanks, it was probably a closing speech or group message.
- Provide the Link
- The direct link to the (partial) replay is: https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1mRGmBeyBDjy
- Click it in the X app or web to listen/watch the available 6:13. If you’re logged in as the host, you may see editing options to extend/clip it.
- Note: As of now (Dec 8, 2025), the link leads to a “Page not found” error for public viewers—likely because replays are private to the host initially or expired quickly for short Spaces. Log in with your @FreeStateNH account to access it. If it’s gone, X support can restore host copies (contact via app > Help > Report a problem > “Space replay missing”).
- For context on the event: Search @FreeStateNH’s profile for “Volunteer Appreciation” posts from Dec 7—e.g., a attendee recap: “The Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon… was such a good time! … thank you for all the effort you put in 💚” (full post ID: 1997778748192538799).
Recommendations
- To Share the Full Version: Upload the local recording as a video clip via X’s “Edit in LiveCut” tool or post it directly to @FreeStateNH’s profile. Tag attendees for reach.
- Prevent Future Cutoffs: For next time, enable co-hosts, test internet beforehand, and record externally (e.g., with Riverside.fm or phone app).
- Event Vibe: This sounds like a warm, impactful session—volunteer appreciation events like this build real community. If the “message of love” was a standout, consider clipping just that for a motivational post!
If you share more details (e.g., your X username or a screenshot of the replay player), I can dig deeper. What’s your take on what caused the glitch?
